Kaimu Black Sand Beach — Attraction in Hawaii

Looking to restore the Kaimu Beach at the end of route 130, where there is still water and electricity still there. As an alternative to dredging endlessly to restore Pohoiki Bay. Ideally having both water accesses would be the best for the community. As more people move to the Big Island our small beaches have become overcrowded and dangerous.
