Geocache Description:

EXERCISE CAUTION, NO GUARD RAIL PRESENT.


The “HOLE” is a large opening in the Earth’s surface found on Seasage Hill Drive in the vicinity of Long Bay. It has been attracting the curious for years. In the past, ropes were available for the adventurous who wanted to take a dip in its uncharted alluring waters. Unfortunately the water is now strewn with litter and those ropes are gone. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REACH THE WATER.

Future plans for this national landmark call for the erection of a viewing platform by The Turks and Caicos Islands National Trust. A small gift shop may also be erected on the site.

EXERCISE CAUTION, NO GUARD RAIL PRESENT.
