Must read

Do you ever feel like you’ve seen it all? Do you crave those breathtaking moments of your first travel adventures?

The world is full of wonders, sometimes you just have to look a little harder to find them. These 12 spots are lesser-known but equally (if not more) breathtaking.

1. Whitehaven Beach

The gleaming sand of Australia’s Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island is 98 percent silica, giving it its brilliant white color. The silica also allows the sand to retain less heat than normal sand, so the soles of your feet won’t get scalded as you walk along the gorgeous blue waters.

2. Dean’s Blue Hole

One of Iceland’s many wonders, Hvítserkur is a rock formation that protrudes from the Huna Bay. Some say its shape is reminiscent of a petrified sea monster. See it?

5. Namaqualand

6. Melissani Cave

Located on the Greek island of Kefalonia, Melissani Cave has its roots in mythology, which makes sense since this cave looks like it’s out of a legend.

7. Hamilton Pool Preserve

A lot of rumors surround Tanzania’s Lake Natron. It’s been said the lake turns animals to stone. While the temperature and pH do indeed make it a dangerous place for a lot of creatures, the myths are only part true. It’s still really cool looking.

11. Quirang
