The above coordinates are for parking on Piedra Chica. Please park OFF of Big Rock Rd as there is no shoulder and lots of traffic for a small canyon road.
As kids we used to walk to the Wave Cave and look out across the ocean. Great views to be had here. The elevation is about 480 feet. It makes you wonder how a wave could create this cave so long ago.
The cache is located about 300 feet from the parking location, but it takes about .4 miles to get to it. You will have to hike along a county fire road and go around the hill where the wave cave is located. The entrance to the fire road is at:
N34 02.391
W118 36.735
There are two houses (our neighbors and friends) up the fire road, so please respect their privacy and stay to on the road. Once you pass their driveways, you'll see a gate blocking the fire road. Just go around it and start the narrow trail around the backside of the hill. Follow the trail around and it leads you to the cache location.
The coordinates to the cache are:
N34 02.435
W118 36.726
Please use CAUTION at this point. The wave cave is located on the steep slope leading down the Big Rock Road. If you bring kids, make sure you have a hold of their hands. We take our two year old often, but we are very careful to hold her tight.
Once you find the Wave Cave, you should have no problem finding the cache. It is a small gray tube about 2.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches long.
Enjoy the cache and the great views.
