'Coal Point Park' is a micro sized traditional cache hidden on the Homer Spit! This tucked away park is located on the end of the harbor just above the entrance to the harbor. The park itself is a great place to take a break and watch the boats moving about.
You might also see a boat on the 'grid' next to the park. The 'grid' is a spot that boats will tie up to and let the tide go out so the boat is high and dry during a low tide turn. Why would they do that ?!? To do some quick maintenance like changing a propeller or zinc.
Also nearby are the cranes used to unload fish for processing and for general loading and unloading of other freight!
When finding you way to the park proceed carefully. Particularly if you are driving. Its not uncommon to have a forklift carrying a tote of fish on the road or cutting across it!
You can drive, walk or bike to the park. There is a picnic table in the park and another overlooking the harbor entrance. So a great place for a picnic or enjoying your morning coffee. There are many good photo opportunities in the park and nearby.
One of many caches for you to enjoy on the Homer Spit!!!
Enjoy!!!
