On the island of Hawaii there are many beautiful places to visit and a lot of stretched out beaches to relax on and have some fun. The most beautiful part of Hawaii is the ocean. Hawaii’s oceans have many different types of marine life like spinner dolphins, sharks, colorful fish, and many others. The best part about Hawaii for some people is to surf. Did you know that Hawaii is the southernmost state of the United States? Hawaii is also the furthest form any other body of land in the world.In Hawaii, there are eight little islands Niihau, Kauai, Oahu,Molokai, lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and of course, Hawaii. The climate of Hawaii is atypical for a tropical area, and is regarded as more subtropical than the latitude would suggest, because of the moderating effect of the surrounding ocean. Temperatures and humidity tend to be less extreme, with summer high temperatures seldom reaching above the upper 80s  and winter temperatures (at low elevation) seldom dipping below the mid-60s. Snow, although
not usually associated with tropics, falls at high elevations on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island in some winter months. Snow only rarely falls on Maui's Haleakala. Mount Waialeale , on the island of Kauai, is notable for rainfall, having the second highest average annual rainfall on Earth: about 460 inches (38 ft. 4 in., or 11.7 m).
Local climates vary considerably on each island, grossly divisible into windward and leeward (Kona) areas based upon location relative to the higher mountains. Windward sides face the Northeast Trades and receive much more rainfall; leeward sides are drier, with less rain and less cloud cover. This fact is utilized by the tourist industry, which concentrates resorts on sunny leeward coasts.
