Our world is a beautiful place, full of unique sites to see. Before planes and cars became a thing, traveling was very dangerous, but with increased accessibility, it has become far more commonplace to find all kinds of people from various places visiting somewhere distant from them. Although it’s great, over-tourism has become an issue, and some places aren’t around anymore. So, if you’re planning to travel, here are some destinations to remember first!
#1: Kaimū Beach, Hawaii
Kaimū Beach, named after the town of the same name in the area, was once located in the Puna District of the Island of Hawai’i. It was a famous tourist destination known for the black sands that covered its beaches. Unfortunately, the beaches, the town, and the nearby town of Kalapana were all destroyed in a volcanic eruption.
Although the area is completely covered in solidified lava, hope remains. A new beach has slowly been reforming as the land recovers from the eruption, with the black sands present the same as before. Locals and visitors have started bringing sprouting coconuts to help vegetation grow in this area.
