'From Here To Eternity' question

[BigH]

does anybody know the name of the cove where the famous beach scene with Burt Lancaster & Deborah Kerr was filmed?

I've checked the dvd, with no luck.

Did some searching but came up with different names (Diamond Head/From Here to Eternity beach/etc.)

need the answer for a competition

...other location scenes were shot in Hawaii, notably the famous beach scene between swimsuited Lancaster and Kerr, shot near Diamond Head. Even if you've never seen the movie, chances are you've seen shots of what has become one of cinema's most well-known moments. According to Zinnemann in his 1992 autobiography:

"That scene, regarded as sensational and extremely provocative a mere 25 years ago, seems harmless and friendly by today's standards. Although it was shot very much as written, the movie censors, who knew the script by heart, nevertheless insisted on deleting four seconds of it. In later years I found that even more had been snipped out by theater projectionists, as a souvenir no doubt. For many years the tourist buses used to stop outinely at this point on the Hawaiian shore to let people admire 'the spot where Burt and Deborah made love in the waves.' It is a curious contribution we have made to popular culture."
