Geocache Description:

Holloways Beach is located just 10 Minutes North of Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia.

When you find the object at the above coordinates, search for the coordinates of the final cache which are displayed on the object.

The final cache is a nano that contains only a log book, so please bring something to write with. The container is hidden from prying eyes, so please ensure it stays that way - thanks.

Holloways Beach is narrow - only a couple of metres in width - but is a lovely spot to cool off, take the dog for a walk, sit and enjoy the fresh air, or cast out a fishing line. A very nice restaurant and café make Holloways a pleasant beach in all circumstances. There are shady trees, a playground, picnic tables and barbecues. You will find space to fly a kite, paths to jog and walk, seats to pause and watch the boats go by.

The Holloways Beach Markets are held on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 8:00 AM until 1:00 PM at the Foreshore, weather permitting.

Note: This beach has a stinger net during the stinger season. When the stinger net is in place, please only swim inside its protective barriers. Swimming outside the nets exposes you to unnecessary dangers. While living in or visiting the Tropics, people need to be aware of some potential dangers and the associated precautions. This is the second reason why I am bringing you to this spot.
