Geocache Description:

This cache is a small metal container placed to maximize the view over the magnificent White Park Bay. You will need to BYOP and tweezers will be useful too. There is parking at GZ to help you enjoy one of the most spectacular coastal views in all of Ireland. The waves come crashing in from all around.

There is a steep drop to the coast nearby; there is no need to venture beyond the flat terrain.

If you plan to walk on the beach, please check tide times.


Beautiful stretch of golden sand on the North Antrim coast

The spectacular sandy beach forms a white arc between two headlands on the North Antrim Coast. Its secluded location means that even on a busy day there is plenty of room for quiet relaxation.

White Park Bay has been in the care of the National Trust since 1938 and it remains one of the most natural coastline sites in N Ireland. The beach is backed by ancient dunes and species rich chalk grasslands, which are carpeted in rare plants, including many orchids. The site is also fossil rich with archaeological evidence everywhere.

Enjoy lazy summer days, picnics, making sandcastles and long walks. You'll find that even on a busy day, this is a secluded and relaxing place to be.

This cache is dedicated to Dr. PLK, whose recently completed PhD in Wave Energy represents a huge amount of hard work, determination, much midnight oil burnt, holiday opportunities missed, blood, sweat, you-name-it, a mega effort for the last few years.
