BC Parks is taking steps to ensure the safety of visitors at Porteau Cove Park and travellers along the adjacent Sea-to-Sky Highway.

The park has been experiencing a high number of visitors, leading to congested parking lots and illegal parking along access roads and in the day-use parking lots.

The area is a popular location for divers, and access for emergency vehicles is crucial.

Beginning Saturday, Sept. 5, increased park ranger and park operator presence will enforce parking restrictions. Vehicles parked illegally at Porteau Cove Park will be towed at the owner’s expense. RCMP will assist with enforcement along the highway.
