The above co-ordinates are for parking. You will have to answer a few trivia questions to get the co-ordinates for the actual cache. I was a big fan of the movie"JAWS" when I was young, and the movie has held up very well over the years. The trivia questions are not overly hard, and if you were a fan of this famous fish flick, you'll have no worries. The correct answer has the correct co-ordinate at the end, place it in the right spot, and your good to go.

That's about it. Hope it wasn't too tricky. Suggestions. Park your car and walk this beautiful beach as you make your way towards the cache. You will come to an inlet and you will have to cross via an old train trestle. Bridge is sturdy, the odd tie has a bit of rot, no one's fell through that I know off. Little tikes will need assistance. Actually this area where the Broad river feeds into the ocean near the trestle is similar to the setting where the GW enters the estuary and munches on the unsuspecting rower...sort of on a smaller scale..
The cache has the usual trade items/log. FTF gets a treat at Timmy's on me. Dogs must be on a leash on this beach as well.
Enjoy the view and remember Great Whites are known to travel this far north....DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM
