Playa del Risco (NFC-Cache)

There is one very nice and quiet beach. The beach is first some big stones and then dark sand. It is great to relax a bit here.

Get here

For times a day a bus runs to El Risco. From the bus stop it is a short walk.

By car you can drive down a bumpy dirt road directly to the beach or park in El Risco and walk down. The last one is also the parking spot to go for the waterfall Charco Azul and there is a nice little restaurant.

NFC-Cache

This cache is an NFC cache. NFC stands for "Near Field Communication" and describes a radio technology over a very short distance (usually a vew centimeter). At the coordinates you will find an NFC tag instead of a cache-box. This is a small sticker in which a microchip and an antenna is inserted. You can contact the tag whit a NFC enabled device. Many current smartphones have this capability. Hold the smartphone close to the tag, the tag receives power from the smartphone and there is a brief data exchange.
You can find more information about NFC for example at Wikipedia.

Find the tag

You can find this NFC tag on the parking area right before the beach.

Log this cache

For this NFC-Cache you will find the log password stored on the NFC tag. As soon as you know it, you can log the cache online. You don't need to sign on the spot. It is stored in a text field on the tag.

App

Many newer phones can read the NFC tag right out of the box. To make sure you can read it install a dedicated app. If you use a Android device, I recommend to use the app NFC Tool. But also many other apps will work.

And now

Have fun logging and enyoj the beach!
