[The] beach is accessed by going through a gap in a stone wall!
Another photo from the honeymoon of a lifetime that Jill and I had in Maui! This one was from a beach that we found ourselves at regularly while we were there, Secret Cove Beach. This beach is accessed by going through a gap in a stone wall that is far from being well-labeled. After passing through the entrance, the beach opened itself in front of you. It was a very rocky beach. There were two smoother sandy entrances into the ocean on either side of the 150 foot long beach.
The first time that we found ourselves at Secret Cove Beach we got two watch as three sea turtles ate along the rocky shore. They were being swept about with the tide, moving upwards of fifteen feet with each wave that came in and out. During the calm, they would try to grab on and eat some of the algae that grew along the rocky beach. Most adorable of all was the juvenile green sea turtle that was trying to follow along with everything that the older sea turtles did. Do you want to learn more about sea turtles?

Every day as we sat on the beach, we would watch as the clouds begin to form over the south end of the island. The heat of the day on Haleakala caused clouds to form over the island, and they would settle down to the southeast corner. Some of the days it would rain there, others it would not. On this day, we had been soaking up the sun at Secret Cove Beach when as expected the clouds started to drift in from Haleakala.
We decided that this would be a good time for us to head back to Keawakopu Beach where our condo was. Within a mile of our condo, we broke free from the clouds, and we were able to soak up the sun for the rest of the afternoon. Tune in later this month when we discuss what causes this consistent cloud formation to occur over Maui and other places like it!
