Weather Geography Districts. Waipio Valley (see more photos) on the Big Island's Hamakua Coast is the last and largest of the seven valleys east of the Kohala Mountains. Giant cliffs rising over 2,000 feet (610 m) surround the lush valley and give it an air of serenity, seclusion and mystery. Like many places on the Big Island, getting to the valley is somewhat difficult. If you plan to drive yourself, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended. The one-mile long road is paved, but steep and narrow. Alternatively, you can park at the Waipio Valley Lookout and from there hike down into the valley. Once you reach the valley, there is a black-sand beach towards the right (after a 10-minute walk), which lines almost the entire shoreline of the valley.
