Geocache Description:

Join the South Texas Geocaching Association in celebrating 10 years of geocaching, thanks to Groundspeak! With permission from the City of Port Aransas, we are having a huge beach bash to bring in the start of another 10 years!

Whether you want to soak up some rays, or build sand castles, the beaches of Port Aransas in Texas are among the best gulf coast beaches anywhere to do that. Combine that with a few hundred unique geocaches on the island to find with the company of several other geocachers, and the weekend cannot be beat!

That isn't it though. Beach parties are not complete without a host of games and prizes! Let me just highlight some of the fun we will have:

  • Limbo Contest: How low can you go?!
  • Cache Toss: Whoever tosses the beanbag into the ammo can wins the ammo can!
  • Sandcastle Competition: Groups will get together to form sandcastles and compete for bragging rights, and maybe more!
  • Dress Like a Pirate, Win Some Swag: If you dress like a pirate, and the crowd likes you the most, you get a prize!
  • Buried Treasure: There will be buried treasure! Clues will be given out in order to find the treasure. You find it, you keep it!

There is more! Come to the beach bash, bring your tent, and camp out with us! We will have dinner and breakfast on the beach, and e nd the beach bash with a CITO the next day! If you do not show up, you will be missing a lot! There are going to be 5 events to claim smileys at!

We will have the site available as early as 10:00am April 30th, if you want to come out early. Frisbee, kites, metal detecting, football, swimming, fishing, kayaking, biking, beach combing, and of course geocaching will be going on all day with announcements and dinner starting around 4:00pm May 1st.

If you plan on attending, these are some required reads:

  • Port Aransas Beach - City of Port Aransas Beach website
  • Beach Permits - A $12 annual permit required for vehicles parking in the area of the beach the event will be at. The event will be located on the border of the Nueces County Park, where beach parking is free, but the actual event will not be in the Nueces County Park.
  • Beach Laws - Skim this over and make sure you are not going to break any of these while attending.

The event is located just south of the Nueces County Park border, in the Port Aransas City Beach.
Be sure to watchlist this event for continuous updates!
And don't forget your beach towel!
