Kayaking & Canoeing

Places to Kayak and Canoe

From the dramatic cliffs, arches and towering pinnacles of northern Cape Breton and Cape Chignecto to the glacial barrens, sheltered waterways and isolated white sand beaches of Prospect and Tangier, for many, our coast is best seen from the water. History buffs will enjoy paddling along our historic waterfronts, while cultural enthusiasts will love chatting with local fishermen or traversing the traditional waterways of the Mi’kmaq.
