Geocache Description:


Ahoy, landlubber! You’ve stumbled upon the legendary Seashell Harbor — a beacon for wayward travelers who got lost somewhere between the sea and a really, really big puddle. Here, the waves never crash, but the shells still pile up, as if the ocean decided to visit once, liked the place, and left a souvenir or two (thousand).

But beware! This cache is under the watchful eye of Steven the Seagull — proud sentinel, snack enthusiast, and self-proclaimed “Protector of the Lighthouse Grounds.” Steven’s not actually dangerous… unless you happen to be a french fry.

Your Quest:

Follow the rocky beaches until you stand in the afternoon shadow of the lighthouse. Steven may be perched above, eyeing you with suspicion (or hunger). Search carefully — your treasure lies hidden nearby, just beyond the reach of beak and talon.

Pro Tips for Brave Seekers:

-Do not feed Steven. He’ll never leave you alone.

-You may hear squawking noises — those are either seagull warnings… or Steven laughing at you for not finding the treasure.

-Bring a camera. It’s a great spot for both geocaching and pretending you’re a pirate on shore leave.

Final Words:

Find it, sign it, and if you see Steven, give him a green heart— he can be easily schmoozed. And remember: adventure is out there… even miles from the ocean.
