Start at this Beach Access at N. 21 15.436 W. 157 47.799. Parking
is available outside the road. It is less than a 10 minute walk to
cache coordinates.
From the beach access, walk east along the path & rocky
shoreline. Shoes & shorts is preferred for the short rocky path
& you may get splashed from the small waves or if the tide is a
bit high. A minute into your start,there will be a short narrow
broken breakwall, so be careful here, thereafter it gets
easier.
Located at the backdrop of Diamond Head Crater along the coastal
shoreline, Shangri-La was built in 1937 as a seasonal home of Doris
Duke. Shangri-La was inspired by her traveling around the World
& her passion for Islamic Art, Architecture & her "Love"
for Hawaii. Doris Duke's Shangri-La Estate is filled with
collectible artifacts of Islamic Arts & is recognized as one of
Hawaii's most architectural homes & is open to the public for
tour guides.

Your stroll to the cache will only take you to a few viewing sites
of its courtyard and Doris Dukes open ocean boat pool which you can
swim in. But its a great place to check out. The cache container
holds a logbook,small trade items & can fit small TB's. There
is sometimes muggles along the way to the cache usually swimming in
the saltwater boat pool, so the cache is hidden just around the
corner. I've camo'ed the container but please hide it back
well.
NOTE : For a less wet experience, refer the tide chart
here
to check on local tide variance (Best to go around low
tide.)PLEASE SECURE AND PROTECT ALL ELECTRONICS SUCH AS
GPSr,DIGITAL CAMERA, CELL PHONE ETC. IN A WATERPROOF BAG OR ZIPLOC
