The Santa Elena Peninsula has a modest number of geocaches, making it an interesting activity to combine with exploring the coast.<br /> <br /> == How Geocaching Works ==<br /> <br /> 1. Create a free account at geocaching.com or install the c:geo app (free, Android)<br /> 2. Search for caches near your location on the Peninsula<br /> 3. Navigate to the GPS coordinates<br /> 4. Find the hidden container (size ranges from nano to large)<br /> 5. Sign the logbook inside<br /> 6. Log your find online<br /> <br /> == Caches on the Peninsula ==<br /> <br /> The Peninsula has geocaches at various locations including viewpoints, beaches, and notable landmarks. Common hide types in this environment include:<br /> <br /> * Traditional caches in weatherproof containers at scenic viewpoints<br /> * Magnetic nano caches on metal surfaces in public areas<br /> * Multi-stage caches that lead you to discover multiple locations<br /> <br /> The cache density is lower than in European or North American cities, but the scenic locations make finds particularly rewarding.
