The Ovens Natural Park and Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia

We stayed in another beautiful area while in Nova Scotia.  This is the Ovens Natural Park, a privately owned park south of Lunenburg.  It was the sight of a gold rush 100 years ago.


At low tide, people would pan for gold on the beach.

There were many trails to hike into the caves along the shore.

Fishing boats would cruise past the park all day long.

One of the many caves.  I am standing on a platform jutting out of the cliff, looking into the cave.


Low tide at the world famous Peggy's Cove; south of Halifax.

The postcard picture of the lighthouse.

The erosion of the rocks from wind and water was amazing.

A view of the homes across the cove.  They are exposed to some of the Atlantic's savage weather.
