Hidden Cove is a large grotto hidden deep within Never Land featured in the Disney Junior animated series, Jake and the Never Land Pirates. It hides one of the mermaids' prized treasures the Mermaid Queen's Throne. The throne is said to reveal itself within the end of the tide.
Role in the series[]
Hidden Cove first appears in the episode "Treasure of the Tides", where Izzy joins Marina, Stormy and the mermaids to find the "Treasure of the Tides". Seeing a golden opportunity to snatch, Captain Hook, along with Mr. Smee, sets sail to Hidden Cove to find the treasure, setting a blockade for the mermaids. Hook orders Sharky and Bones to block the lagoon using the Jolly Roger, but the two pirates were no match for Lucille the Seal, who was able slip pass them and recruit the help of two blue whales to force the Jolly Roger out the way so Izzy and the mermaids could catch up to Hook and Mr. Smee. While Captain Hook and Mr. Smee tried to keep the lead to the Treasure of the Tides, a large school of seahorses block the villains' path. However, thanks to Mr. Smee, Hook learned the seahorses are easily startled, giving Hook the idea to spook the sea creatures toward Izzy and the mermaids to keep them at bay, allowing him to reach Hidden Cove first and beat them to the treasure. But Hook did not count on Izzy's quick wit (like in the episode "The Seahorse Roundup"), as Izzy, Marina and Stormy began to sing a lullaby to calm the seahorses down so they could safely pass. Hook and Smee reached Hidden Cove to find the Treasure of the Tides and tried to pry the throne from a rock Izzy and the mermaids tried to stop Hook but they were powerless to stop him until Jake, Cubby, and Skully reach Hidden Cove with Izzy's Pixie Dust to turn the tide on Hook and Smee. The mermaids decide to make Izzy an honorary mermaid. Later that night took part in the celebration and the crowning Izzy "Mermaid of the Year".
Hidden Cove reappears in the episode "Jake's Royal Rescue", where Marina, Stormy, and the other mermaids prepare a show in the honor of the mermaid's ruler, Queen Coralie, who was on her way through depth of the Never Sea, until she was captured by Captain Hook and his crew as ransom for the mermaid's treasure. Jake and his crew soon learn of the Queen's capture and set a course to rescue her.
Printed material[]
Hidden Cove's only appearance in printed media is in the storybook adaptation of "Treasure of the Tides", based on the episode of the same name. Izzy joins Marina, Stormy and the other mermaids at Hidden Cove for the Treasure of the Tides ceremony, but that sneaky snook Captain Hook has his eye on the mermaid's treasure.
