WALK THE FULL LENGTH OF THIS BEAUTIFUL TRACK OR DO SECTIONS INDIVIDUALLY
Nobbys Beach
The Walk
The Port Macquarie Coastal Walk was developed over many years and completed in August 2009. It comprises a well developed bush track, paved sections, beach walks and some steps.
The full length of the Coastal Walk from Tacking Point Lighthouse to Westport Park is 9.1 km but there are plenty of exit and entry points. Caches in our series can be tackled individually, or the entire track can be walked south-to-north so you can collect several in one stroll. [NOTE: This is our fourth Section. The first Section can be found at GC39ERW "Coastal Walk #1: Beautiful Lighthouse Beach". Please refer to this first cache for public transport information and advice, and the status of other caches in the series, should you wish to do the whole Coastal Walk]. You will pass other people's caches along the way, so get these too if you have not done so already. Most people of reasonable fitness should be able to do the full walk, or manage all sections individually.
The locale
Nobbys Beach extends for about 400 m between the conical 30 m high Nobby Head and the southern rocks of Flynns Beach.
Rocks dominate the surf making this a difficult spot to surf. It has numerous rips and is not patrolled.
Nobbys Beach provides a mixture of beach and rock fishing, with numerous gutters in the sand and against the rocks.
Nobbys is a popular dog-walking beach.
The Coastal Walk is popular with locals and visitors alike and cachers will sometimes need stealth and patience to make their find.
The cache
At the listed coordinates you will find a map and an information board about the Coastal Walk.
Answer the questions posed under "Waypoints Stage 1" below. These will direct you to the cache, which is a bison.
Please replace the cache carefully.
If continuing with our Coastal Walk series after your cache find, take the steps and track ahead of you to the north to Flynns Beach Surf Club where the next section starts. Otherwise return to your car.
