The Nahoon point nature reserve consists of small pieces of coastal forest, a tidal river system with flat sandy and wetland area's. In the 60's, 200 000 year old footprints were discovered here and it is home to various fauna and flaura including dassie, duiker, mangroves and the rare Knysna Warbler. The area was once inhabited by porcupines but they have since all vanished due to hunting and the duiker seem to be vanishing also. Another crisis facing the reserve is pollution & overfishing.
This cache is part of the NPNR Trail Series, which you’ll be able to do 9 caches along an 8km walk. The trail is divided between walking through coastal forests and along a breathtaking coast line. Although you free to do the caches in any order you wish, I have set up guidance in an anticlockwise direction, completing the caches in numerical order.
This should be the highlight of your walk and a must for every East Londoner to view at least once. The going is not going to be easy and a cautious approach should be made from the west, you going to need to enter the cave to find the cache. Your GPS is going to be of no use down there, so find a nice dry spot for it. To get here just follow the coast line from Turning point.
Please replace the cache as you found it.
