Watcombe beach is one of the 10 main beaches that make up Torbay. According to Torbay council “the beautiful sandy beach of Watcombe is an idyllic spot surrounded by cliffs and wooded hillsides. There is a steep path that leads down to the beach which passes through mature woodland and opens out to reveal a small cove with spectacular scenery.”
Dogs are allowed all year and there is free parking in the 24 hour carpark at the top of the steep walk down to the beach.
To find this cache you need to get the information indicated from the waypoints and then work out the co-ordinates for the final. After getting the information from the first waypoint head back out of the carpark and down the road to the beach.
