According to Wikipedia ...
The rocky coastline at Saltern Cove
supports diverse communities of intertidal plants and animals.
Along the lower shore the coarse grained rocks are partly covered
by brown seaweeds such as Flat wrack (Fucus spiralis) and Knotted
wrack Ascophyllum nodosum, while pools and crevices in the rocks
provide shelter for a wide variety of algal species, such as the
red seaweed Corallina officinalis. Animals include the Snakelocks
anemone Anemonia viridis, the Spotted goby Gobius ruthensparri,
Periwinkles Littorina spp. and the Squat lobster Galathea strigosa.
At low tide, sandy areas are exposed between the rocks and these
support a fauna characteristic of sediment shores including Common
starfish Asterias rubens and burrowing animals such as the Razor
shell Ensis arcuata, the Thin tellin Tellina fabula and the Sea
potato Echinocardium cordatum...

...
The coast and shore-line between Goodrington Sands and
Broadsands comprises a series of coves backed by cliffs. The area
[is] known overall as Saltern Cove ... Goodrington Sands and
Broadsands are two of Torbay's most popular beaches, attracting in
the region of 900,000 visitors per year. Saltern Cove is the
nearest extensive area of rocky foreshore to these beaches and
inevitably it is used by a large proportion of these visitors for
rock-pooling.
The cache is a small screw-top tube (sorry it's so small a
cache, but I feel that anything larger would be at risk from
muggles) hidden at the north end of the area of grassland north of
Saltern Cove proper, This overlooks the beach at Goodrington Sands
and further round the bay towards Torquay. Views can also be had of
the south of Torbay towards Brixham Harbour and Berry Head.
