Looking for a place for a sun and sand vacation? Perhaps you've thought of Hawaii. But maybe you think it's too crowded.

If you like less-crowded vacation spots, you should definitely consider Kauai, Hawaii's least-traveled large island. Here are 10 reasons why:

Put your face in the water (wearing a mask or goggles) at any beach and watch the colorful fish. You don't even need a snorkel.

2. You can find great surf on Kauai and also tame wavelets. Those are on the sheltered south side.

3. Outfitters on the island offer zipline tours through the treetops and kayaking on scenic rivers and oceanfront.

4. Kauai's northwest coast, the Na Pali cliffs, will look familiar to you from movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park. You too can take a look at the amazing cliffs from a boat tour or from a helicopter tour. You could also take a sea kayak day-long adventure to see them up close.

5. Possibly you are a frequent flyer. In that case, you may be able to use your miles to get there.

6. Since it is a U.S. destination, U.S. liability laws apply for diving outfitters. So you are more likely to have a safe diving experience with safe equipment than in non-U.S. destinations.

7. Do you like crowds or dislike them? If you want to get away from crowds, Kauai is the place for you.

8. Endangered wild life such as monk seals and sea turtles can be found in or near the beaches. Be careful not to touch! But do bring your camera.

9. You can find out all about Niihau, the neighboring island forbidden to outsiders for nearly 100 years, 17 miles away.

10. Because you can use U.S. currency, your vacation may be less expensive than at other, non-U.S. tropical destinations.

So, planning your next vacation, scope out Kauai.
