Hidden Beach is very hard to get to, but it is so worth it. Hidden Beach is along the part of Farrington Highway that used to go around the NorthWest corner of the island. They stopped maintaining the road years ago and now all that is left is a very, very bumpy dirt road. I'm not gonna lie, there were a few times I thought we were going to die haha. If you do not have a car that can handle off-roading, do not attempt to drive to Hidden Beach. Many people choose to hike in instead, which I think might actually be easier, but less of an adventure for sure. To get there, you drive to the end of the paved part of Farrington Highway on the North side, not up the East side of the island. You will have to drive a long ways down the road (I think it is around 1-2 miles) until you come to the small bay at Hidden Beach. The beauty of Hidden Beach is that you will usually have it all to yourself. But sometimes, you will be lucky enough to chance upon some Hawaiian Monk Seals. (Just FYI, we are further from the monk seals than it looks in the picture below. They are wild animals and can be dangerous. Be careful and be smart people.) If you have the time and want to go on an epic adventure, Hidden Beach might be the place for you!
