Gyles Quay Traditional Cache

This cache brings you to the holiday village of Gyles Quay.
Gyles' Quay is an isolated stretch of beach located along the northern side of Dundalk Bay just off the road to Carlingford. It was named after Ross Gyles who build a wood structure there in 1780. It was later rebuilt in stone in 1824 and survives to this day.
The long isolated beach with accessible hinterland made it very attractive to smugglers who used the beach for importing wine and tobacco. In 1823 the authorities constructed a coastguard watch station to limit the illegal imports. Today tourists are drawn to the area for the long beach expanse and the caravan park located overlooking the area.
the cache is a black taped micro container with only a log so please byop. This is a cache and dash designed to provide the same views as the nearby "smugglers multi" cache without the walk. This area can be very busy, especially during the summer months, please take care when searching for and replacing the cache to protect it from muggles.
this was once part of a series called louth beaches, that series is now defunct and the bonus cache is now archived so please ignore the code contained in the cache
