Heck, President-elect Obama scattered his grandma’s ashes from the rocks near the Blow Hole on the eastern end of Oahu. I think if you are discrete, you can get away with it.

Don’t do that. It’s not ashes, it’s ground up bones. The skeleton. It’s like very, very coarse sand, and the pieces are quite jagged and sharp. You’ll make the beach uncomfortable for other people.

It’s actually illegal to scatter ashes anywhere less than 2 or 3 miles offshore. In order to do it legally, you’d have to hire a boat and then do it.
Due to the tide patterns around the island, if you scatter then anywhere closer to shore than that, you’d only end up with it right back where you scattered it.
That being said, as long as you do it without a lot of fanfare, there are lots of people who do this every day I’m sure. Just be sure that there aren’t any "leftover" pieces in the ashes that could potentially hurt anyone else.
Hope that helps you……good luck!

According to one of our local papers, the Honolulu Star Bulletin:
Generally speaking, according to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, no environmental permit from the Health Department is required to scatter cremated ashes on land, sea or from the air, but it should be done discreetly and some distance away from the general public.
Ashes are not allowed to be scattered within a state forest preserve or watershed area, or on state or federal property. Scattering on private property can be done with the owner’s permission.
For more information, call the Health Department’s current registration section, 586-4540.
