The coordinates listed for this waymark are for the entrance to a road to the site. There are three no trespassing signs near this entrance and the road is overgrown with vegetation. See gallery. We tried to reach the site from the ocean side as well. From previous photos, it looks like there was a trail from the beach to the site. We checked this out, only to find the trail completely overgrown with vegetation. The coordinates for this attempted entry are N26 55.992 W80 4.135
