The cache:
It's a simply cache on a beautiful beach. But you have no chance of a cold drink. So organize some water by yourself. At the coordinates you'll find a plate with some information. Follow the path behind the plate. It's only a short but adventurous trail. Enjoy and be carefully.

Pantai Passir Tengorak is a pocket of fine sandy beach in between rugged rocky beaches comprising sandstone and shale. The gently dipping and warping sandstone and shale belonged to upper part of the 550 - 490 million years old Machingchang Formation. The sandstone contains some excellent internal cross-bedding and surficial ripple marks, while the interbedded sandstone-shale exhibits more interesting load related sedimentary structures such as load coast, flame structures, convulted bedding, fluid-escaped features and truncated sandstone lenses.
