WELCOME TO MISSION BAY
What ever the season, this can be a very popular place to visit.
When the sun is shining, in the shade of the Pōhutukawa trees, many blankets and chairs can be found, claiming a spot for family and friends to gather.
So why come here? well to log this cache, it's the only reason really.
Yeah nah, it is so much more.
It has beautiful views, it is a taster of the Kiwi experience: water, sand, sunscreen, sunglasses, jandals, ice-cream and pizza.
This is Selwyn Reserve, great for picnics, did you bring one? no worries if not, as just across the road there are many cafes, restaurants and bars.
Mission Bay is one of the closest inner city beaches, with a large grassed area and Promenade.
So bring a frisbee, a ball, or visit the Children's Playground and Fitness Park (see WAYPOINTS).
