In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water and pineapple. Pour into a 13 inch by 9 inch by 2 inch dish. Refrigerate until set. In a bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, butter and sugar; cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, sprinkle cracker mixture over half of the gelatin to form a beach. Decorate as desired.
