While the whole of Cape Breton Island can be described as being as “pretty as a picture,” there are some spots that we’d hate for you to miss.
Meat Cove
Meat Cove is a rural fishing village located on the northernmost tip of Cape Breton Island and well worth the drive to get there. Adventurers can camp at the Meat Cove Campground with its spectacular cliff-side location, explore the beach, go sea kayaking, and hike the trails.
Inverness Beach, Inverness
Stroll along the beach boardwalk with the long, sandy beach to one side and golfing action at Cabot Links, Canada’s first true links course, on the other side. Take to the beach to find seaglass treasures and to swim in some of the warmest ocean waters you’ll find in Atlantic Canada. Stick around for sunset – you won’t be disappointed!
Skyline Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park
Experience an eagle’s view of the Cabot Trail from the top of the Skyline Trail located within the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Watch for whales in the Strait below and for wildlife and the many boreal birds that call the area home.
