According to the Victoria Beach Police website...
"Victoria Beach is the only community in North America to restrict the use of private motor vehicles during the summer months. This means that cottage owners have to park their vehicles in a parking lot and either walk, bike or take a cab in to their property. This results in an extremely quiet and safe community which everyone who enjoys strives to maintain.
There are approximately 2600 cabins in the R.M. which means that the summer population of permanent residents and summer cottagers approaches 14,000 to 16,000. In the winter months that drops drastically to approximately 450 permanent residents.
On long weekends during the summer, sometimes this parking lot is so full they need to temporarily overflow way out to the municipal yard.
Thanks to Google Eyes for prepping the cache container during the drive up to Victoria Beach for it's placement.
