Access at low tide is possible by walking the rocks / mud flats
from Wood Bay, however as with most beaches along this coast they
are at their best with a full tide. If taking this route, beware
that the rocks are very slippery and the mud can be very
soft.
A more direct route exists from Takahe Rd through a thin strip
of reserve (see trailhead waypoint), and makes for a
pleasant bush walk. The track is not maintained, but is in
reasonable condition. It is likely to get very muddy in
winter.
The cache is located about 20m before you reach the beach, do
ensure you carry on and check out this special spot.
The beach is made mainly of oyster shells, if the tide is right
have a look at the banks of shells just around the small bluff to
the left of where the track exits. To the right is a small
waterfall (though this was dry at the time of placement).
No need to bush bash, cache can be reached from the track, or
maybe one foot off the track.
Please ensure that the cache is covered well before leaving,
thanks.
