The Nahoon point nature reserve consists of small pieces of coastal forest, a tidal river system with flat sandy and wetland area's. In the 60's, 200 000 year old footprints were discovered here and it is home to various fauna and flaura including dassie, duiker, mangroves and the rare Knysna Warbler. The area was once inhabited by porcupines but they have since all vanished due to hunting and the duiker seem to be vanishing also. Another crisis facing the reserve is pollution & overfishing.
This cache is part of the NPNR Trail Series, which you’ll be able to do 9 caches along an 8km walk. The trail is divided between walking through coastal forests and along a breathtaking coast line. Although you free to do the caches in any order you wish, I have set up guidance in an anticlockwise direction, completing the caches in numerical order.
The Nahoon Beacon is a lighthouse build in 1956 that provides views of the Nahoon coast line. From Rasta’s Lookout cross over the tar road, Turn left at WP2 and head uphill into the bush.
