Ten Mile Point, British Columbia
One such cove, called "Smuggler's Cove", was used during the prohibition years as a boat landing and launch for rum-runners traveling back and forth to the United States.
Another cove is called "Telegraph Cove" and was the location of a dynamite factory which operated in the late 19th century.
In the early part of the 20th century, Ten Mile Point became a summer retreat with many cabins on its shores. It gradually developed into the present upscale residential neighbourhood.
Ten Mile Point maintains a rural, bucolic feel as a result of 1-acre (4,000 m) lot municipal zoning implemented specifically for this area by the District of Saanich. The area has only two street lamps.
Retired two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash and singer/songwriter Nelly Furtado both own homes in Ten Mile Point. The neighbourhood was also home to movie director George Pan Cosmatos.
Canadian musician Ten Mile Point is named after the neighbourhood.
Ten Mile Point was the filming location for the fictional Washington State community of "Fisher Island" in the 2021 Netflix series, "Maid".
