Welcome to The Ovens Natural Park.
Located between Riverport and Lunenburg, we are a privately owned park with spectacular sea caves. Folks come from all over the planet to visit our sea caves. Sea Cave walk may be done within an hour for those on a tight schedule, or one may spend all day going into the caves, the cave walk along the Ovens cliffs, etc. We also have a campground in our park surrounded by over a 100 acres of pristene coastal forest atop the cliffs of Nova Scotia on the ocean. We are located on a stunning peninsula, on one side Lunenburg Bay (Lunenburg Harbour) + best sunrises on the planet and the other side Rose Bay best sun down (rivals Key West) of the mighty Atlantic. The park was the site of a gold rush in 1861 to this day we offer gold panning on one of our beaches, Cunard Beach (named after the shipping line as they came and took more than half the sand on Cunard Beach and brought it back to the UK in 1861 as the sand was filled with gold) and yes they find gold. We sell or rent gold pans and other supplies for our guests in our little general store. And we have a little museum about the history of the park and that very exciting time in Nova Scotia history. Lots to do for day visitors, or stay for a while to enjoy our beautiful coastline with seals, dolphins, whales, etc.. We offer tent camping, and serviced sites for RV's, we also have camping cabins available ranging from very very basic to our two log cabins with wifi. Our on site licensed restaurant is very popular, our chef Mimi and other talented kitchen staff create delicious farm to table meals in our ocean front licensed restaurant 7 days a week, from breakfast (best egg man on the east coast, and as an extra treat he might play some tunes on the piano) 8am til last dinner order taken at 8:45pm and then snack + homemade desserts menu available til 10pm. Restaurant + Live entertainment here every night, (except an occasional Monday) from July 1 to Labour Day.
We recycle, reuse and repurpose. Our goal is to keep this little bit of heaven green for generations to come. Our pigs help out on a daily basis by eating all our leftover food from the store and restaurant. Our goats keep the lawns trimmed and they love eating our gardens, especially the twins. The chickens lay eggs for all our egg needs. And the bunnies are just adorable. This will be our 31st year and we are very excited.
