Froggy Pond - What's in a name?
The cache, a black-taped, push-topped, tablet tube, is hidden at the back of a large rust-coloured rock just north of this little sandy cove - the local beach for Froggy Farm - named after the farm which occupied the area above the beach on the lower slopes of Swartkop until the 1970s when it was sold and developed into a residential area - and our home! It is definitely not a pond and there are no frogs!
To access the cache park on the verge of Cruwagen Rd near S34 12.142 E18 27.283, cross over the road (carefully!) then down to the small wooden beach access gate near
S34 12.184 E18 27.373. Follow the trail around to the north - the cache is over on your left.
The only information about the beach I could find was in relation to it as a dive site.
Froggy Pond is the first little cove south of the golf course in Simon’s Town. It is a shoreline rocky reef and a shore dive site suitable for training exercises as it is sheltered and has a flat sandy bottom. It is in a Marine Protected Area (2004) for which a dive permit is required. The site is entirely inside the Boulders Restricted Zone.
It is a shallow cove with the 10m contour about 200m out at the end of the reef south of this very sheltered little bay - a suitable site for training exercises on the sand, but an interesting dive along the reefs.
It is a sandy beach with boulders in shallows, is quite steeply shelving at the shoreline and has rocky reefs to
both sides. There are huge granite corestone outcrops (late Pre-Cambrian granite of the Peninsula pluton) with some interesting dolerite dykes at the south end of beach which form a wide point separating Froggy Pond from Fisherman's Beach to the south.
The point continues out to sea as a reef of medium to low outcrops on a sand bottom. Inshore the sand is loose and clean and fairly coarse. Further out there are places where it is finer and others where there is a coarse overlay of granular shelly sand. There are some narrow deep crevices in the rocks of the point which shelter a surprising variety of organisms.
Sometimes there may be a small beach break, and surge as it is quite shallow. The site is exposed to wind and waves from the south east, and is reasonably protected from south westerly swell, so it is usually at its best in winter. There may be occasional opportunities at any time of the year.
Marine life is more interesting than one might expect from the shore. The open rocks are quite bare, but there is a long horizontal crevice at quite shallow depth on the north side of the point which has a lot in and around it. It seems to be open at the back as a strong surge runs through it which may be unpleasant in a larger swell. Shallow areas have lots of pear limpets on top of the rocks, urchins a bit deeper with fairly sparse red bait, Common feather stars (see here for some great photos) deeper still. Deepest reefs 
have some elegant feather stars too, and mauve and red-chested sea cucumbers (see here for photos). The sand is fairly bare, with a few buried horseshoe cucumbers, some long-siphoned whelks (see here for photos) , sand stars and puffadder shysharks. Kelp on the rocks is fairly sparse. There are a lot of twiggy corallines (see here for photos) in the shallows, more crustose corallines deeper.
