It contains recreational shack settlements located on the coastline, you will get a sense of the old pioneering spirit in the self sufficient lifestyle of yesteryear, a little slice of history. A lifestyle where water has to be harvested from tin rooves to sustain the long summers, power must be generated for lighting and shelters are erected from recycled materials for protection against the elements.
