Maritime Geocaching Association
Please note: The island is almost completely private property. Please respect that on your visit. Do not cut across lawns or people's house lots or fields on your visit; stay on the roads, follow the shoreline and beaches, and usually there are old hunting paths just inside the edge of the woods when the shoreline turns into cliffs that meet the forest edge. These caches are present on the condition of respect from visiting cachers. Thankyou. 
This spot is named after the sheer nets that used to be used for fishing off this part of the island. A good place for a show during spring storms, the Sheer Net Hole is a hollow in the rock at sea level. When the waves get big, so does the show.
WARNING: The cliffs are steep here and there could be overhang and brittle rocks at the edge. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! Keep back a healthy distance from the edge and don't assume the cliff edge is stable. Also, DON'T TRY TO GET DOWN NEAR SEA LEVEL FOR A BETTER VIEW. Big waves can come unexpectedly, and this is not a spot where you want to get swept off the rocks. The cache is back from the cliff edge so don't take needless chances. If you are not familiar with hiking along rugged and potentially unstable coastline, do not attempt this cache.
The cache is situated on land protected by the Nature Conservancy of Canada, off the end of the Aspotogan Peninsula. This area contains delicate coastal forest, barren, and pond ecosystems, providing habitat for many waterfowl and migratory bird species. The Nature Conservancy of Canada is a national non-profit land conservation organization and they encourage you to enjoy the Natural Area, but be respectful of its protected status by staying near the roads and trails, and respecting all signage.
If you would like more information on the protected area, please contact the Nova Scotia office:
