Awaken. Explore. Discover.
Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort is a Wellness and Wilderness retreat centre located along the serene landscape of the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Open year round, Cabot Shores offers a mixture of outdoor adventure, interesting and relaxing accommodations and health services. We are also pet friendly!
Enjoy your time with us in a room in Whiff’s Lodge, a Mongolian or cedar style yurt, or one of our chalets big enough for the whole family. We also have a tipi, Atlantic glamping dome and a tree-house style Luna Dome sheltered by clusters of trees in our orchard. 10 camping sites and two RV sites are available facing the ocean, bordering the calm waters of the Indian Brook as well as wood sites.
A variety of hot tubs including soft tubs (2-5 people), Japanese Ofuro cedar tubs (2-3 people), and larger hot tubs (4-6 people), are located throughout the wilderness resort property.
For larger gatherings of family and friends, ask about the Breton Cove Farm House located 12km away from Cabot Shores.
Our Bistro restaurant is also open year round and serves a fresh variety of seafood, grilled meats, soups and chowders plus vegan and vegetarian options as well.
Adventures from Mild to Wild
If you’re passionate about the outdoors, Cabot Shores is the place for you with kayak, canoe, and paddle board rentals available onsite allowing you to explore the inlets and wildlife of our pond. You can even travel down to where Church Pond reaches the beach and you can swim in the ocean, take a long walk and beachcomb, or have a bonfire. Go on guided hikes in all seasons and snowshoeing in the winter and enjoy the beauty of both the freshwater Indian Brook and the ocean beyond. Take yourself across on the Eagle Feather Ferry to our beach, explore near trails or join us for guided hikes, puffin and whale excursions, waterfalls and more!
