Given the sheer amount of sand available for being moved, maybe shore-goers can pocket some while at Pohoiki and then covertly deposit it at Richardson's while negotiating the water entrance. Sort of a Shawshank Redemption style effort with a hopefully more pleasant swim in the end. ;)
More seriously, I too miss the hot ponds - yet another unique bit of the Puna coast reclaimed by the lava. Queen's Bath, Harry K, & many more - gotta keep going with the flow I guess.
Anyone been out to the "new" Kapoho beaches accessed from "4" corners lately? How's the hike and stranded wading pools these days?
