Geocache Description:


Check the terrain level, you will need to climb to the cache, there are drop offs, only go where you feel safe.

This cache celebrates another happy holiday break in Whiritoa, and when out for a walk thought to self "why not!"


Please do not swim at this end of the beach, this is not a safe beach for swimming. A safe area is between the red and yellow patrol flags, found below the Whiritoa Surf Lifesaving Club (beside the playground on Kon Tiki Road).
