How do all the locals and tourists of this destination not spot these mermaids? Like every tropical island around the world, they have their own hidden secrets. ;) With secluded beaches, coves, and underwater caves, the possibilities are endless. Bubble Cave, Spitting Caves, Secret Beach, Makalawena Beach, and Polihua Beach are examples of some interesting and unique spots. You can never really know where a few mermaids might be hanging out in the beautiful islands of Hawaii, the top mermaid destination according to everyone who participated in our mermaid destination poll. With eight main islands (Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Kauai, and Niihau) as well as one small island (Kaala), there’s so much for a mermaid to do and so many places to go.
