Things are hot down at Kauapea Beach, commonly known as Secret Beach.
And apparently it’s more than just the heat. Forbes Traveler (www.forbestraveler.com), Forbes magazine’s luxury travel Web site, released its list of the “25 Sexiest Beaches in the World” last month, and Kaua‘i’s sandy gem on the North Shore made the grade, keeping company with notorious hot spots such as Playa d’en Bossa, Ibiza and Paradise Beach, Mykonos.
The beach was lauded for its view of the Kilauea Lighthouse and white-gold sand.
The list honors beaches with the perfect combination of “sensuality, sassiness and scenic beauty (both geographic and human).”
The compilation was completed with the aid of “travel writers, tour planners, globetrotters, hotel owners, beach aficionados, marine biologists, meteorologists, cultural essayists, map makers, list makers and an assortment of personal diarists devoted to covering the beach scene.” Apparently there was some Googling involved as well.
Other perennial favorites on the list include South Beach, Fla.; Natadola Beach, Fiji; Tahiti Beach, Saint-Tropez; and Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro.
