This geocache is located at June Street, a Beach Access in Nags Head, NC. According to the Georgian calendar, used today by most of the world, June is the sixth month and one of the four months with a length of 30 days. It was not always that way, however, because it was once the fourth month on the Roman calendar with only 29 days. In 46 B.C. Julius Ceasar gave the month 30 days when he reformed the Roman calendar.

The flower for the month of June is the rose, and the gems are the pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone.

Fathers Day is celebrated every third Sunday in June.

Except during leap years, June 30 is the 181st day of the year. With only 184 days remaining, the year is almost half over. The June Bug is named for the month that we see them occur the most. Also known as the June beetle, these critters hide out in soil for a few years in their larvae form and emerge as beetles in June.

June is traditionally the month public school lets out for the summer, although our grandson is in year-round school so he's in class while his sister is home.

June is often considered the wedding month and became the popular month for scheduling weddings because the pregnancy was least likely to interfere with agricultural duties, and was when couples were likely to be the cleanest (visit link). I've been told it's also where the “don't throw the baby out with the bathwater“ axiom comes from. But June is popular for a lot more than just weddings.
