It's nice to see a sense of humor from the City of Oak Bay Recreation Department. This sign is posted on the entrance to the beach at MacNeil Bay. This beach is usually nearly deserted - it's really only a narrow strip of rocks and sand below the esplanade. Earlier this year MacNeil Bay hosted a visiting Gray Whale thoughtfully recorded by N. Wemyss and posted to YouTube by NorthOlbo.

I'm learning or re-discovering new beaches all the time here.
My wife re-discovered the great beach at Cordova Bay. Unlike Willows or Cadboro, it's relatively deserted. The lawn area of the now-defunct McMorran's Restaurant has become a popular suntanning venue for locals.
Great sign!!! I think I've seen something like it before in one of those emails of funny photos that makes the rounds every now and then.
That video is well done with a nice guitar score.
Interesting bit of whale trivia; in their earliest in-utero stage, their nostril/blow-hole is at the usual frontal location, and migrates back during embryonic development to where we know it.
Learned this from Prince of Whales marine biologist Anna Hall.
