I thought it was about time to have a cache to bring people across to St Michael's Mount, the famous tidal island close to Marazion. It's accessible via the granite causeway for roughly two hours either side of the low tide and at other times a small boat ferry will get you back to Marazion.
Dogs: Please note that dogs are not allowed on St Michael's Mount from 1 April until 30 September. Dogs are allowed on the beach to the east side of Marazion.
Dogs are not allowed on the beach stretching from the causeway westwards to Long Rock, from Easter through to 1st October.
From 1 April until 31 October the island will be open Sunday - Friday each week. The island will only be accessible to guests with valid castle, garden or combi tickets from 1st April until 30th September. Tickets will be available to book online 8 weeks in advance - Free to National Trust members but a fee to all others. https://www.stmichaelsmount.co.uk/plan-your-visit/opening-days-times
There are two locations to be visited on the Mount to get some numbers which will solve the co-ordinates for the final cache location. A pasty will provide good caching fodder for this little excursion.
