It's also interesting that the large sand beach at former Kaimu (1/3 mile in front of Uncle Roberts) is gone. That beach was there for at least a decade. I noticed it disappeared about 3 years ago. (my last visit there was 2 months ago).
Even if a beach does not abut safe swimming, it is nice to walk on.
Now that this Kalapana beach is gone, I'm less inclined to walk out there. All the trees people planted out there are nice, but sheer cliff dropping into the ocean -- we have way too much of that in East Hawaii. This is one reason the Pohoiki project is so welcome. Creating diverse terrain along the shoreline.
