SW EK-342 Sunset on Kauaʻi .. a Hawaiian island

Kauaʻi or Kauai is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 562.3 square miles (1,456.4 km2), it is the fourth largest of the main islands in the Hawaiian archipelago. Kauaʻi's origins are volcanic, the island having been formed by the passage of the Pacific plate over the Hawaii hotspot.

Kauaʻi has a population of about 70,000 and the largest town by population is Kapaʻa. Tourism is Kauaʻi's largest industry. Each year about 1.3 million people visit Kauaʻi.  This postcard shows a sunset on Kauaʻi - with a view like this, it is no wonder than so many people come to the island.  A popular thing to do is to marry (or renew vows) here mainly because Elvis’ screen wedding in the movie ‘Blue Hawaii’ was filmed on Kauaʻi.

This postcard came from Squine (24 November 2014) Swap-bot.
