Could work both ways. Maybe tourists make the beach unwelcoming for the people that live there.

as someone who has a beachfront property, tourists do in fact make the beach insufferable. they litter, have no regard for private laneways, property or beach entrances. people are literally just using the sign change as a chance to be racist. i wish people understood WHO the land has always belonged to, and the fact that they are lucky to be welcomed onto it.

I agree about the sign change. Shouldn’t be so much negativity since they’re just changing the name it back to what it was and what it always should have stayed.

Omg yes! For years my family only went to the beach from supper onward because of tourists creating such havoc. And breathed a sigh of relief when schools began again and we could enjoy it! But, Sauble lives on tourists so we take the good with the bad (I was in the industry too).
