Geocache Description:


The Salmon Hole is situated along the Bowman's Scenic Drive at Beachport. The Salmon Hole & the rocky peninsula, Schnapper Point are popular fishing spot for locals and tourists. 

Beach:  "Salmon Hole is a 600 m long curving beach, lying in lee of a near continuous, curving beachrock reef, which forms the relatively calm 30 to 50 m wide lagoon or hole between the reef and the beach. It is backed by a 10 to 20 m high steep, scarped foredune. There is access to the beach from small car parks at either end."

Swimming:  "While waves are relative low at all four beaches, be careful of the numerous rocks and reefs. Salmon Hole is the safest close inshore. Stay clear of the reef as water drains out across and around the reef."

Fishing:  "As the names snapper and salmon imply this is a popular stretch of coast to fish from the beach or rock platforms."

General:  "Four beaches located on the Beachport scenic drive, and well worth viewing and spending more time to swim, walk or fish."

The Cache is located part way to Schnapper Point. From the carpark, head along the maintained path before arriving at some sand & small rocks then finding a small track leading to the cache's location.
