The area in which the cache is located is known as the cliffs to local residents and is also a popular swimming spot in the summer.
The area used to be a German P.O.W. camp from 1940 - 1946. Before the area was a P.O.W. camp, the area was a hotel and a sanatorium. After the closure of the camp, from 1949 until the early 60's, the area became a hotel that catered to Jewish clientele. Eventually the buildings were condemned and were going to be demolished but a series of fires from 1964 to 1968 burned the buildings down. Most of the area is now being developed and some of it has been made into a waterfront park. There is still some visible evidence of the past history of the area.
At the above coordinates you will find parking and a sign dedicated to the area. On the sign you will find some dates that will help you find the final stage.
