A neat cave placed midway up a massive shoreline cliff on Green Head Island (or Pennisula).
According to Don McAlpines survey of the cave in 1978 the cave's length is 64m and depth, 26.7m. Most of those folks who have explored it have entered using rock climbing gear due to it's entrance halfway up the cliffside. There is a homemade cedar pole bridge that leads to it but I personally wouldn't want to trust it. The cave is located at N45 16.842 W66 7.515 or about 37 metres south of the cache.
To get to the cave and the cache find your way to Green Head on the West Side of Saint John. Take Green Head road to the "island" and then keep to your right. Park at on the right next to a rusted metal gate about 220m after the road split (I've included a picture of the gate below and the co-ordinates are N45 16.346 W66 7.047)
Go over the gate and take the path (keeping to the left each time it splits). At about 675m from where you parked you will come to an opening where the power lines intersect the path. Now turn left and take the path along the power lines. When you reach the second power line tower (I think its number 67) you should see a path into the woods to your right. Take this path to the top of the cliff (it will turn into a footpath from a ATV path after awhile). If you now try to find a path to your right it will take you to the cache and further down the hill will take you to the valley below so you can look up at the cave in the cliff wall. BE VERY CAREFUL. The cliff is VERY HIGH and the edge is some places gradually slopes towards the edge with loose gravel.
The cache is in the large mini cedar thicket. It is a plastic bottle.
