Geocache Description:


I've always wondered why on earth is there no caches on this beach. It is a spot visited frequently by locals and tourists. We'll time for that to change!

St. Vincent’s beach is located at the bottom of the Avalon Peninsula along the Irish Loop Route. Direct from St. John’s, it is 134km or a (1hr 50min) drive away on route 90 or 181km (2.5hrs) if you take the leisurely route clockwise along the coast on route 10. 

The main attraction for visiting St. Vincent’s Beach in Newfoundland and Labrador is to see the whales. From June to August humpback whales can be found just off of the beach feeding on capelin and other sea life in the area. The 5km beach is the largest site in the world where you can view humpbacks and other whales from land. Due to a steep drop off in the water not far from shore the whales are able to get quite close to the beach when feeding making for an incredible experience for visitors

This cache is a preform tube, tucked away securely. Please return exactly as you found it!

Stealth is a must here.

Happy hunting!!
