The other day when I was sitting on the lanai of my Oahu Vacation Rental looking over the beautiful blue ocean I started thinking about these amazing Hawaiian Islands and how each one is so different. I also was thinking about how each of these islands has an Island Nickname that helps to describe how each island is different from the rest.
The Hawaiian archipelago (island group) includes eight main islands, and six of these are well-populated visitor destinations. These islands include Oahu, Kauai, Lanai, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii Island (the Big Island).
The island of Oahu is the third largest island and is known as “The Gathering Place.” Oahu measures about 44 miles by 30 miles with more than 100 miles of coast and as many beautiful beaches.
Great surfing sites are found all around Oahu. Of course there is the north shore’s renowned Banzai Pipeline where the world’s best surfers ride huge waves.
