Geocache Description:

A nice wee walk along a well formed track in a spot that instantly removes you from the city.

At the time of cache placement the CO has been waiting, somewhat impatiently, for the arrival of his third geocaching assistant Toby. So what better place to plant a cache, and hopefully a fun one for kids to hunt for, than somewhere that has an excellent short walk in a pretty spot with a small ruin to explore.

Second Beach seems to be a little known spot just along from St Clair beach. There is not a lot of information available online, other than a few entries that point out there was once a gun emplacement on the cliffs above it. But it is a wonderfully peaceful spot to visit. The track is wide and well graded - perfect for buggys. On one side of the track you have beautiful bush and on the other the rugged seashore.

Accuracy was 3 metres when the coordinates were taken. The cache is a micro so you will need to bring your own pen and there is no room for swag or Travel Bugs. It is located at ground level very near the wall and is not visible from any distance. A little bit of searching may be involved but it is not a needle in a haystack - but what is it they say..."Geocaching, where you are the search engine". Be careful of the trees surrounding the wall (they have pointy branches) and of sticking your hands in holes. Of course these two things are often good places to start when finding a cache.
