MightyDee: looks like it's gone out with the tides, perhaps somewhere in the world this one is laying washed up on a beach

Geocache Description:

To get there you must go along the coast line from the western most parking lot sometimes having to wade through the tidepools. Pay attention to the warnings about the unstable cliffs. Do not try to climb down the cliffs. Use the stairs along the path to access the beach. Parking at the State Park requires a fee. My girls wanted the cache to keep a beach theme, so it is starting out with a bunch of shells and rocks.

Consult a tide table before attempting this cache. I would suggest low tide. Even then expect to get wet. The rocks you have to climb to get there look difficult, but I hid the cache with my 8 and 4 year olds while carying my 1.5 year old. Do not attempt during inclemet weather or heavy surf. The cache is easily reachable without having your feet leave the sand (or driftwood) of the beach. Do not try climbing up the cliff, they are unstable and easily eroded.
