hidden coves
Concealed coastal recesses
Hidden coves are small, sheltered inlets along a coastline that are difficult to find or reach—tucked behind cliffs, accessible only by boat or obscure trails.
The phrase evokes secrecy and discovery: We found a hidden cove where we had the beach to ourselves.
Hidden coves appear frequently in romantic imagery, pirate lore, and travel writing promising unspoiled destinations.
