Geocache Description:

A cache placed in one of my favorite spots when I visit the Mundy Family in Jersey.


St Catherine stretches from the breakwater a mile (1.6 kms) or so south along the east coast, taking in a number of rocky coves. When the tide goes out, they are all joined by a stretch of flat, wet sand, but at most stages of the tide bathing is from rocks or the pebble beaches. East facing, so the sun disappears from many spots quite early in the afternoon. Well protected from prevailing westerlies but can be uncomfortable when the wind swings round to the east. The sand tends to remain wet when it is exposed on low spring tides.

How to get there:

Summer bus service only. Free parking.

Additional Information

Bathing Safety:

Only for competent swimmers at high tide, whether from the breakwater slipway, the rocks or one of the steeply shelving pebble beaches, but the water is usually very calm. At low tide there is an expanse of shallow water for paddling and splashing about in.

Popularity

Set out early to claim the best spots.

Water and Beach Sports

An area for dinghies and other small craft.

Toilet Facilities

Public toilets at the shore end of the breakwater and Gibraltar slip at the other end of this stretch of coastline.

Refreshments

A café at the shore end of the breakwater

Cache Maintainance

Will be carried out by the Mundy Family when required

Most of All....

Have fun and Cache on!
