Geocache Description:

Having tried all the tempting facilities along the Promenade you might like exploring further North.
You will see to your right towards the ocean that there is a dense thicket of mangroves. These plants are defined as tropical evergreen trees or shrubs of the genus Rhizophora, having stiltlike intertwining aerial roots and growing below the highest tide levels in estuaries and along coasts. This virtually impenetrable plant mass is very important in land building*.
While walking along these very important plants you will almost stumble over a precious hoard.
However, be aware of sandflies!
Happy hunting anyway!
BYO writing tool, please!
By the way: To keep this well maintained area clean, don't forget to bring a plastic bag along to collect all rubbish found for
