6 Reasons Why Hawaii Will Be Just As Awesome In 2014

What Life In Hawaii Will Be Like In 2014

As the year comes to an end, the Hawaiian islands are enjoying some standbys: spontaneous rainbows, days of powerful surf pulsed with days of calm, cradling waters, breathtaking sunsets that allude to the end of something beautiful and the start of something new.

Island residents and visitors are soaking up every last drop of 2013. Below, see six ways Hawaii's kamaaina (people of the land) are savoring the last few days of this year and showing off, once again, why we are #LuckyWeLiveHawaii in 2014 and beyond.

1. We workout in the most beautiful places possible.
