The world is a beautiful place, full of amazing sites to see, both natural and manmade. Before planes and cars became a thing, it used to be very dangerous to travel, but with the 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 a wonderful thing, over-tourism has started to become an issue, and some places just 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 for 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 and the town itself were all destroyed in a volcanic eruption, along with the nearby town of Kalapana.
Although the area is completely covered in solidified lava, hope still remains. There is a new beach that has slowly been reforming as the land recovers from the eruption, with the black sands present the same as before. Locals and visitors alike have started bringing sprouting coconuts to help vegetation grow back in this area.
