Placed in National trust car park . it's not cache and dash as it costs £3.50 to park unless you are member of NT in which case its free. ( We actually joined the NT 18 months ago in this car park ; we weren't geocachers then !! ) Cache may need gloves to retrieve as beware nettles or use stick to push them away.
This is close to Penhale Military Zone and very close to Holywell bay, well worth a visit but have to warn you that it will get very busy in Summer so nice time would be out of season. There is a great pub nearby for food which is very handy if you have worked up an appetite on the coastal path. Holywell Bay is small, but it holds a great variety of interesting family attractions. There is an entertainment park in the village, which includes go-kart racing and other treats for visitors of all ages. There is also a golf course in the town, and it is slightly difficult, being a par 3 course. For those who want more stroke practice, there is a pitch and putt available. The course’s club house is open to both members and non-members, and no handicap is required to play the course. The beach, though, is by far the most striking attraction in Holywell Bay. The rolling dunes that run along the back side of the beach hold many different ecosystems, and children can spend hours looking for the dunes’ inhabitants. There are also rock pools near the beach, filled up by tides and inland streams. These can be used as wading pools for those who can’t swim and for small children. Additionally, there is one particular stream that runs through the sandy beach to the ocean that is a magnet to children of all ages, and their parents, too. There is often great surf on the beach, and the beach is patrolled by lifeguards during the peak beach-going season. Lifeguards often separate the body boarders and surfers to avoid any potential colliding accidents, and this reveals that the town of Holywell Bay is singularly concerned with the safety and welfare of their visitors. Visitors should pay attention to the undercurrents, though, that are sometimes strong in that area. Thanks to the National Trust for permission in placing this cache.
