Geocache Description:

A virtual cache requiring a picture to be uploaded with your online log.

This 34 ft. tall red tower is an active light made of cast iron. It was established in 1915 and automated in 1969. It currently has a 300mm plastic lens. You can access the east breakwater from the boardwalk. Park in one of the provided parking lots and walk to the steps leading down to the sand. The walkway gets progressively wider and smother the farther out you go. Please observe the precautionary sign at the beginning of the breakwater and do not attempt to log this cache when waves are breaking at the tip. It would be extremely dangerous. To gain credit for this cache, you MUST include a picture of a member of your team and a GPS'r sitting on the steps in front of the tower to prove that you visited. We will give you a couple of weeks to post the pictures, logs without pictures will be deleted without warning.
Please, read the precautionary sign.
