Description

 

Our Family loves beaches, if we had to choose between caching and going to the beach then the beach would come first.

Nelson Bay and the surrounding area has quite a few beaches so I thought I would introduce all the geocachers to them.

I have already placed quite a few GC caches in the area so I thought I would add a few virtual GCA caches. But I thought I would make them beaches, this way you can go caching in the morning and them take the family to the beach in the afternoon.

If I do all the beaches in the area you can then experience them all and find your families favourite. We have been here a year now and have found some great sneaky beaches only the locals know about. I hope you enjoy exploring them all.

Enjoy my two favourite past times combined into one.

 

Hawks Nest beach is a little gem, hidden away from all the tourist and packed full of surf and adventure. There is something for everyone here, Beautiful Shells, dingoes, lookout walk, fishing and of course the surf. We love it here and we want to share it with you all.

 

To log this find just take a beautiful photo of the beach in question. No need to get a sign or distinguishing mark, I know them all. Just try and be creative with your shot. Mix it up, Sunset, Sunrise, Low tide, High Tide, Sand shot, Sky shot, Under water, high shot, low shot, etc etc etc

Happy Caching and photographing.

A wonderfully unique coastline that we've visited many times over the past few decades. This pic was taken right on sunset, looking south from GZ, toward Tomaree Head with Yacaaba Head to the left. Just after this I did a moonlight walk to the Yacaaba Trig. Thanks MADSTARS.
