• 1. Beach, surf site, valley, Hāmākua, Hawaiʻi. Waipiʻo Valley is one of seven isolated coastal valleys on the north side of Kohala Mountain. A black sand beach three-quarters of a mile long fronts the valley, the longest beach on the Big Island. A shallow sandbar lies off the beach. The surf site is a shorebreak on the sandbar near the river mouth. High vegetated dunes occupy the backshore. The primary dune vegetation is ironwood trees. The black sand is detrital material eroded and transported to the shore by Waipiʻo Stream. The paved road into the valley is only for vehicles with four-wheel drive. The valley floor was once the largest wetland taro cultivation site on the Big Island and one of the largest in the state, but only a small portion of the land is still in production today.
• 2. Bay, fishing site, Waipiʻo, Maui. Large bay near Huelo bordered by high sea cliffs, the highest of which is Palikū. Fishing site for ʻāhole, ʻāweoweo, and ʻūʻū.

Literally, curved water.
