Ovens Natural Park The Google rating is 4.2

Ovens Natural Park is a privately owned, 180-acre pristine reserve of coastal forest, site of the 1861 gold rush, located on the Atlantic coastline along the scenic Lighthouse Route near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. For hundreds of years, people have been drawn to the incredible beauty, diverse geography, fascinating history, and spiritual solace that make the Ovens Natural Park so unique.

Every year, the Ovens Natural Park welcomes thousands of visitors as they stay in our campground, cabins, and/or to hike the spectacular coastal cliffs and nature trail to view the famous sea caves, or “ovens” for which the park was named. Experience the resounding boom of crashing waves in Cannon Cave – where you can actually descend into it to via a carved staircase to feel the power of the tide.
