Bellevue has a beach? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TeamIDFC: Boo, our first archived cache. The muggle factor in this park is very high, and while we wanted to bring folks down to the beach, it seems like this spot isn't going to work. There are some other high-visiblity but "classic" hide spots available, but they are a couple hundred feet away so we'll have to put a new cache in if we want to use one of them. Hope everyone enjoyed the beach!

Geocache Description:

Another chance to see what little public waterfront access Bellevue has.

When TeamIDFC thinks of beaches we think of Mexico and Hawaii - the normal retreats of Seattleites in the winter. How is it then, that Bellevue can make claim to such a location? While I'm not sure I'd go in the water in the Seattle winter, the Meydenbauer Beach Park does offer great views of the water year-round.

TeamIDFC has wanted to have a cache in this park for some time, but the muggle factor is quite high in the summer and there aren't a ton of cache-private locations. While out doing some coping with last-minute holiday traffic we wandered by and found the park empty (but for the bonfire prepared in advance for the Christmas ships). A stroll around the beautiful park revealed a suitable location for a micro that should be able to stand up to muggles and geotrails alike.

Take a few minutes to enjoy the nearby benches, beach, and views of the waterfront.

Access note: You really don’t want to access the cache from Lake Washington Blvd – there is very little on-street parking and the traffic is high. Please use the attached parking waypoint (N 47° 36.862 W 122° 12.595) to find the entrance to the parking lot.

The park is open dusk to dawn.
