Geocache Description:

Located at the Umhlanga Lagoon, this cache will take you on a lovely walk of the Mangroves across wooden walkways and amongst the forest.

I suggest you park along Lagoon Drive (near the Breakers Resort) and then walk either through the hotel to the beach or between some of the hotels to the beach.

Once on the beach head to S29 42.532 E31 05.823 as the starting point of the trail. Its about a 600m walk along the beach, from the resort to the start. At this point you just need follow the trail.

I suggest you bring mozzie repellent and bug spray as they can be a bit of a nuisance. Please also note that this cache is only available between 6am and 6pm daily (might be slightly different in Winter)..

I suggest you do this with a friend or two, and on Thursday at 10/11am they fill this place with security guards so that people feel more safe here (though I felt very safe during the day by myself). This also means that on Thursdays it may be a bit more difficult to complete this cache.

Once you have found the cache, continue along the path and take the RIGHT fork and this will exit you back onto Lagoon Drive near your car. There are many places nearby to go for a drink afterwards.
