Shelter Bay Ferry at moorage in Shelter Bay. From here the roadway is paved and well groomed but the road hazards are typical for this time of day.

Olalla is a small retirement-oriented community with approximately 300 residents, conveniently located on Highway 3A between Keremeos and Penticton in South Central British Columbia. Boasting a mild winter climate and spectacular views, Olalla's quiet nature belies its rich and active past.
