Geocache Description:

Pierre Aux Rats obelisk is off the beaten track and away from the "beach" crowds of Herm.
Once found, scramble up, over and through the dunes to get to one of the most secluded and quietest beaches on Herm.

The narrow sand beach (Mouisonniere Beach) along the exposed north coast is subject to erosion resulting in the gradual retreat of the dune system. Erosion is
most evident along the eastern half of the beach and a “blow out” has occurred in the dunes adjacent to the Pierre Aux Rats obelisk. The blow out coincides with
a gap in the rocky foreshore, which locally allows larger waves to reach the shoreline. Attempts have been made to stabilise the dunes by the use of sand
fences and marram grass planting. It is likely that sand carried down the beaches during storms is subsequently removed from the lower foreshore by the
strong tidal currents. There may, however, be some longshore transport to the east onto Shell Beach.
