From this large rock take a compass bering of 250 True, look above the tide mark and you may find a thread of hope.
You may be able to do this on a 5 foot tide (not recomended ) you will have a lower score . A 3 foot tide or less will be best.On a 3’ tide or less follow the tide out and watch as it comes in , it can come in fast and you may have to wade past your knees to get back if you don’t keep an eye on it.If you lift a rock to explore PLEASE put it back as you found it and let living things live. The water moves so fast here that the animals need the protection of the rocks to stay home.I have made a small list of some of the animals you can find here.Your level of success is dependant on how many of the following list you can find . I have found all of the listed in this area before. There are 25 finds for 100% which means 1 find is worth 4%.
-A score of 0% you cheated and are only out for the thrill of the kill. Next !
-A score of 4% - 24% you were blind folded or you better get your eyes checked Geocaching is a real challenge for you.
-A score of 28% - 92% You are having fun , enjoy life and the simple pleasures of geocaching.
-A score of 96% - 100% You now know the beach very well, are lucky, dedicated , and determined. Geocaching is definitely for you.
