Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian islands having been formed about five million years ago. Kauai has more sandy beach per mile of coastline than any of the other islands because nature has had more time to erode away the original volcanic landscapes and create spectacular beaches with expanses of golden sands, and also such geological wonders such as the deeply carved Waimea Canyon and the furrowed cliffs and spires of the Na Pali Coast.
