Overview of island specific features of Hawaii beaches
The character and personality of the beaches differ from island to island. Here is a brief overview of the island- specific features of the Hawaii beaches.
The Hawaiian archipelago is the sum total of eight major islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Hawaii, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. Barring Niihau which is restricted to the native Hawiian residents, all other islands are replete with stunning beaches. The beaches in all the islands are geological wonders in their own right; the topographical characters of the beaches reveal their age as well as the unique geological background of their creation.
Kauai, Oahu, and Maui are the oldest islands in the Hawaiian archipelago. The beaches found in these islands are lot more sandy than the comparatively younger islands. As for instance the youngest island in the chain, Hawaii offers a shoreline much different in appearance and character. This island is full of active volcanoes; the shorelines too are full of lava rocks. The volcanic geological background gave its shore a typical black tinge. The small islands of Lanai and Molokai are sparsely populated, the tourist traffic in these islands are also limited. Thus, these two islands are the homes of some of the remotest and most secluded beaches.
