Provincial Park Reserves

Provincial Park Reserves are former provincial camping parks (pre 1997) where the campground area was deproclaimed and privatized while the remainder of the provincial park was retained to protect natural features.  Park reserves have no visitor services.

Windmill Bight Provincial Park

Located on the Kittiwake Coast in Bonavista North is a little slice of heaven located on a rugged and beautiful coastline. Windmill Bight Provincial Park is just two kilometres from the small town of Lumsden and brimming with fantastic features. The beach at Windmill Bight is certainly a sight to behold. Here you’ll find 600 metres of white sandy beach accented by rare and protected sand dunes. A great place to swim, lounge on your towel or, most certainly, to take a lovely walk. This provincial park serves a very important purpose to protect the many unique features of this small and rare ecoregion, the Eastern Hyper-Oceanic Barrens. Here a rare system of sand dunes shelter a shallow and warm freshwater pond from the Atlantic Ocean. The climate produced by the ocean, in turn, create the perfect conditions for an Atlantic plateau bog and the lagoon is a draw to many migratory birds. The privately owned Windmill Bight Municipal Park is located adjacent to the provincial park.
