GEOCACHE - GC7B9ZV

Shark Rock Pier - Virtual








This Geocache is this weeks pick from cache owner Plainoldgraham located in the South Africa a popular hot spot for their local cachers with over 1,000 caches near by (according to the owner! - maybe one day I'll visit!)

A recent TB of mine has been taken in by the owner and hopefully soon to be placed in one of the tb hotels over there! So exciting! And there I was thinking it wouldn't leave the UK!

The description partly says: 
The most prominent feature on Port Elizabeth's shoreline besides the harbours, Shark Rock Pier is the only pier in the city.
Located between Hobie Beach and the Red Windmill the pier is at the very centre of the Port Elizabeth beachfront and is a major landmark and drawcard.
The building of the pier was actually responsible for the creation of Hobie Beach as it is to-day by impeding the tidal drift of sand northwards and causing it to build up. A double benefit to the city.
