Geocache Description:

At one of the smallest, least known public beach access places on Bainbridge Island.

This should be a pretty easy one to get to and find. In the summer, you might lose your signal but maybe not.

TIP #1: This is public access and has legal parking. You DO NOT need to trespass or drive on private driveways. If you find yourself entering a private road, just turn around, you're going the wrong way. Islander people tend to be privileged and private which means they'll quickly call the cops if someone is snooping around. Park at N47 37.516 and W122 32.044 and you'll be legal and OK. If your driving, you might first go to N 47 37.717 N122 32.113 (St. Barnabas Church) and it will put you on the right road. It's a narrow road I suspect that many Islanders don't even know about.

TIP #2: It's about 1.5 miles from the ferry which makes it an easy "ferry and bike" or longish walk. If you walk it, there are fun public access paths along much of the water.

You first might want to first go to "Burned Strawberries" (GCQW0W) which is right along the way. Here is Bainbridge Island's guide to walking and cycling on the Island: http://www.ci.bainbridge-isl.wa.us/documents/Guide_Full_Island_View.pdf

TIP #3: Please make sure the cache cap is locked and sealed tight.

This is a VERY WET environment and the case is watertight if locked properly.

Please enjoy one of my favorite little secrets on the Island.

8/1 UPDATE The cache has been replaced very close (slightly west) but not in the exact same place as the original. On my GPS the reading was the same but it might be slightly off if you have a newer more-sensitive GPS unit.
