Looking for Hawaii's best kept secrets? Turns out, they're not all that hard to find.
The Aloha State has six unofficial beaches that are all called "secret." Ironically, some of these hidden spots aren't really so undiscovered. In fact, most of them have official names, and are relatively easy to find. Maui's Secret Cove, for example, is a popular spot for wedding ceremonies, and Kauai's Secret Beach can be found easily on Google.
But while these so-called "secret" escapes share the same nickname, each one of them has their own unique perks -- from a clothing-optional beach accessible only by four-wheel drive, to sandy bays of perfection within earshot of luxury resorts.
Below, discover six Hawaii beaches worthy of one perfectly intriguing name.
Secret Beach at Ko Olina, Oahu
This resort-lined coast in west Oahu is perfect for travelers who want beachside luxury. Bonus: Ko Olina (and the entire westside of the island) has some of the most perfect sunsets bar none.
Secret Cove (aka Paʻako Cove), Maui
This small but pretty stretch of sand is tucked between two homes in a neighborhood on Maui's southern shore. If you catch it when there isn't a beach wedding in-progress, consider yourself lucky.
