Women Who Travel Podcast: Amelia Earhart and Bessie Coleman's Record-Breaking Flights
"A small island in the Pacific Ocean that was the intended landing site for Amelia Earhart during her ill-fated attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 1937."
Amazing view and the locals were great but since there's no airport you have to swim all the way there so I wouldn't recommend unless you have a private yacht or something.

3rd try for us to find the plane with no luck. The “Royal Expedition Team” from England left the island a mess with evidence of alcohol & drug use left in the piles of trash they left. Just awful.

There’s a lot of misinformation here.
The Coast Guard cutter was here waiting for Amelia to arrive.
No remains of her or her plane have been found. Any other information is false and/or dishonestly misleading.
Study real data.

The piece of airplane that you see in the pictures on Howland Island is NOT a part of Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Model 10-E Electra. The part you see in the pictures appears to be a float from a float plane. Amelia’s airplane did not have floats.

Suspected bones of Amelia Earhart were found on the neighboring island of Nikumaroro in 1940. They also found a makeup kit and hairbrush that may, or may not, have
belonged to her. Shortly after, the bones were lost and have never been recovered
