Park at S28° 16.673 E032° 29.122 (this is the closest you will get with a vehicle) where there are restrooms, picnic spots and excellent rock pools at low tide ideal for small kids. To get to the cache location, you will have to walk for about 30 minutes along the beach, which is one of the designated walking areas in the park. The cache is only reachable from 2 hours before until 2 hours after low tide.
The patches of black sands that you will be walking on are the heavy metals that have almost led to this spectacular coastline being mined ten years ago. On your way to the cache you will also walk past two caves that contain large numbers of Miniopterus schreibersii (Schreibers long fingered bat) and Epomophorus wahlbergi (Wahlberg’s fruit bat). Please ensure that you do not to disturb the bats. On low tide you will furthermore see thousands of Ghost crabs, of which the numbers have increased to natural levels as a result of the ban on beach driving. You could also see tracks of leopard on the beach and if you are extremely lucky, tracks of Loggerhead turtle which came to lay their eggs on this part of the coast between November and March each year.
The cache is a 2 liter plastic container. It contains a log book, pencil and some plastic toys. The cache is just above the high water mark. It is placed so that retrieving it will not cause any environmental damage.
First to find honours goes to Purple Rhodent. Congratulations!
The entrance fee is about R80 per car with two adults, but defnitely worth it. Make sure to visit Cape Vidal - remember to take your snorkel gear.
Thanks to PORKY2 who helped by replacing the cache when it was muggled. It's this helpfull attitude that sets apart Geocachers from muggles :-) You guys are amazing!
