Geocache Description:

Placed on the end of the breakwater at Warrenpoint. Wheelchair accessible. Please be carefull if you have young cachers with you.

Warrenpoint (commonly transcribed into Irish as An Phointe ('The Point')) is a town in County Down, Ireland. It lies on the northern shore of Carlingford Lough. The town is alternatively, but not usually, known in Irish by the name of the townland within which it is located: Rinn Mhic Giolla Rua meaning "the promontory/point of the red-haired servant". It is known for its scenic location, the Maiden of the Mournes festival, the Blues on the Bay music festival and for the nearby Narrow Water Castle dating from the 1660s.

Today a small passenger ferry service operates out of Warrenpoint to the village of Omeath in the Irish Republic. The trip takes about fifteen minutes. Other cruises include trips to Narrow Water Castle and Bay & Harbour Cruises.

The cache is a magnetic nano and contains only a log. Great views of the harbour and Omeath can be seen from here. If timed right, ships just loaded form the harbour pass very closely to the breakwater.
