Kauai is the northwesternmost and oldest of Hawaii's major islands. Called the Garden Island, it is covered with lush greenery and tropical plants, watered regularly by abundant rainfall.

It is also home to more sandy beaches than any other major island in the Hawaiian chain. Lydgate State Park, Old Koloa town, Huleia National
