Geocache Description:


History

Welcome to the seafood hotspot of the West Coast! Lamberts Bay is known as the Diamond of the West Coast and the crayfish mecca of South Africa.

Snoek is also available during a snoek run which takes place a couple of times during the year. Boats from all over the West Coast flock to the town to catch this fish which has also become more popular. Lamberts Bay is also famous for its long stretches of uninterrupted white beaches and abundant marine life which gathers in the cool blue waters.
Take a relaxing daybreak and soak up the sun, surf the sparkling waves or enjoy a boat ride over the big blue bay.

This gem of a seaside village owes its origin to humble beginnings as a fishing village, like most of the surrounding South African coast villages, but is has become one of the major tourist attractions on the West Coast due to its moderate all year climate. The Sandveld Museum and nearby local farms like Wadrift, will open your mind to the cultural history of this unique place.

Lamberts Bay is also jam-packed with plentiful birdlife. Some of the more popular species on the list include gannets and Cormorants. Dolphins, whales and the ever entertaining seals at the internationally acclaimed Bird Island attract tourist from all over. Heavyside dolphins are frequently spotted from the beach. Lamberts Bay is also a great place to view the lush stretches of wild field flowers that are most beautiful during spring.

Cache

The Cache is placed at the house of a very well known lady of the town, whom so happens to be my grandmother.
So if you get stuck in town and searching for direction, just ask anyone “Where does Poppie Tol stay” they will show you.

Her house is opposite the Caravan Park.

You don’t have to go into the garden for the cache, as it is just off the path leading to the house.

P.S PLease bring on pen!!

Enjoy the view relax and have fun.
