The low, broken cliffs which are generally less than 50 m high show many erosion features such as stacks, arches, caves and blowholes. The varied coastal vegetation on the ledges and cliff tops includes maritime heath, grassland and brackish flushes. The site is of importance as a nesting area for a number of seabird species. During the breeding season, the area regularly supports 95,000 individual seabirds including: Guillemot, Kittiwake , Herring Gull, Shag & Fulmar.
Cruden Bay beach, which is a Blue Flag beach, is popular with day trippers, watersports enthusiasts and sea anglers. The entire bay is a designated bathing water area, so be sure to pack your swimsuit!
If you'd like to place a cache in this series, you are most welcome. There are just a couple of points to note:
1. Email den sure kalkun about your cache before you publish it. He will allocate a number to you.
2. Then let him know when it's published, and he'll add it to the bookmark list.
3. The island must be an actual island. Places with the name "Island" or "Isle" that aren't actually islands are not allowed. Any island is ok: sea, river, lake. It doesn't have to be a named island.
4. Only one physical "Island Treasures" cache per island. Sorry if your favourite island is already taken :)
5. You can place any type of cache in this series (Earth caches are particularly encouraged!) but the final container, if there is one, must be on the island.
