The south and west sides of the island are on the "leeward" side of the island, which receive less rain since most clouds have already dropped their rain on the windward side of the island. These parts of the island tend to get the most rain, and as a result, are the greenest and most tropical parts of the island. The north and east sides of the island are on the "windward" side of the island, where the winds blow onto the shore. The major regions of Kaua ʻi can be defined by their location on the island relative to the prevailing trade winds. As a consequence of its age, Kauai also has more miles of sandy coastline than the other Hawaiian islands. As the oldest of the islands, it has been changed the most by the forces of erosion, and this has resulted in natural wonders such as Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali Coast. Nicknamed the Garden Island, it is covered with lush greenery and tropical plants, watered regularly by abundant rainfall. ![]() Kauai is the most northwestern of Hawaii's major islands and is the 4th largest by size and population.
