Geocache Description:

This chache is located on the back side of Sandy Neck in Barnstable, MA. PLEASE DO NOT VENTURE OFF THE TRAIL AND INTO THE DUNES. NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT WILL SHUT THIS CACHE DOWN IF ANYONE IS SEEN IN THE DUNES OFF THE TRAIL. THANK YOU!

You can park your vehicle in the Sandy Neck Beach parking lot and hike in (Apx. 2 miles) on the beach. The coordinates for the parking lot are: N 41 41.334 W 070 22.860. During the Summer months you will have to have a Barnstable or Sandwich beach sticker to park in the lot or pay the daily fee ($15 from 8AM - 4PM). After Labor Day and before Memorial Day you should not need a sticker. If you have a 4X4 vehicle and a Sandy Neck Beach Off-road vehicle sticker (permit required), you can drive out on the beach to the head of trail #2 and the cache is a short walk from there. The coordinates for trail #2 are: N 41 44.177 W 070 20.994 PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE ON TRAIL #2 WITH YOUR 4X4 VEHICLE. THANK YOU! A third option is to take the trail which is at the guard shack. This is a 2 mile hike along the Great Marsh with some terrific views. (I recommend this hike)! FINAL NOTE: Keep an eye on the high tide. It may make the walk in on the back trail a bit difficult.
