This bench, located on the shoreline just below the lighthouse between Mahukona and Lapakahi, is a memorial to Malcolm Davis. Malcolm was a North Kohala man who disappeared while freediving off this part of the coast in 2020. He was 20 years old and was never found.
It’s a lovely spot, with a view up and down the coast and across to Maui, a place to sit and watch the waves, a place for contemplation.

Oh, goodness, he deserved better, Graham! Ending, I mean- not the bench!

There’s an element of risk with any water activities, but it’s especially sad when something happens to someone with their life ahead of them.
