Set along the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii is a non-contiguous U.S. state and the only state that is both not a part of the North American mainland and is comprised entirely of islands. Nicknamed the Aloha State, Hawaii is known to be the 50th and last state to officially join the U.S.
The 50th state is characterized by its breathtaking oceanfront scenery, warm climate, long stretches of sandy beaches, and active volcanoes. Completing its one-of-a-kind atmosphere, Hawaii is home to a unique blend of Hawaiian, Asian, and Western cultures. It is also the only state that boasts two official languages, which are English and Hawaiian.
