We have all observed the comings and the goings of the sand with the accompanying exposure of the boulders. It often seems miraculous that the beach returns to its pristine high-sand level. So I know the beach will be back soon. But I share your wonder, J.D., that those boulders look like no amount of sand could cover them sufficiently to make that beach comfortable. Their formation appears to be so highly-stacked and reach so far as to make it impossible for the returning sand to cover them without overflowing onto the road. Maybe it is the camera's angle, but it still looks impossible.
