Come join us at the Tarpum Bay Beach at 10 AM to 12 PM on July 17th for a grand meet and greet, the first CCE in the Bahamas, and talk about some geocaching experiences with a visiting cacher (or cachers) ! The first 3 people to arrive will receive some sort of prize and an event slip. Bring trackables to exchange, visit, or to show! Make sure to bring some geocaching stories!

Make sure to take photos to attach with your log, we will do a group photo sometime during the event. Please post your will attends 48 hours in advance and update us with any information whether you are not going to be able to make it, running late, etc! Thanks for reading and hope to see you there!
About Tarpum Bay
Tarpum Bay is one of the larger settlements on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Initially named Glenelg after a British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, the settlements name was changed to Tarpum Bay to reflect the tarpon fish that could be found there. Tarpum Bay is known for its vibrantly colored buildings and large waterside Anglican church. Local fishermen sell their catch daily at one of the two fishing docks.
