A nano cache located in Whitesands, which also coincides to be on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
Hello and welcome to the 13th cache in the Rogerstone Scouts Series.
This is the fith cache in the Life's a Beach series, in North West pembrokeshire.
This cache is located in the bay of Whitesands.
Local Information
Whitesands Bay is an EEC award-winning, Blue Flag standard, wide sandy beach situated on the St David's Peninsula in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, United Kingdom. The beach is located about two miles west of the small city of St. Davids and about one mile south of St Davids Head and has been described as the best surfingbeach in Pembrokeshire and one of the best tourist beaches in the world.
The area to the north east of the bay is dominated by a large rocky outcrop, 594 feet (181 m) at its highest point, known as Carn Llidi — which could mean "Cairn of the Gates" or "Cairn of Wrath". The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes alongside the bay, giving access in the north to the secluded bays of Porthlleuog and Porthmelgan (which are only accessible on foot), and the rugged coastal scenery of St Davids Head. To the south, the coastal path leads to Porthselau and St. Justinian's, with views across the Ramsey Sound to Ramsey Island. There are a number of megalithic burial chambers, stone hut circles and British Iron Age field systems and enclosures to be seen in the vicinity of Carn Llidi and St Davids Head.

If your planning to stay on the beach during the day check out the tide times to see when is best to surf.
The cache itself is a nano container placed in a position where EXTREME stealth is required especially at high season. It contains just a log book so please bring your own pen.
Thank-you for looking and Happy Caching
