The South Shore is known for its sprawling white sand beaches, many of which are at provincial parks, including Bayswater Beach, Carter's Beach, Rissers Beach, Summerville Beach, Thomas Raddall, and Sand Hills. The calmer ocean waters at Beach Meadows Municipal Beach are great for young children. At The Hawk Beach on Cape Sable Island, the most southerly point in Nova Scotia, keep an eye out for the “drowned forest” and migratory birds.

Welcome to Cape Breton Island Words of welcome have long been offered to visitors as they cross the Canso Causeway to Cape Breton, ready to explore a region where history lives and breathes. Step into the life of a French settler at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, North America’s largest historical reconstruction; take a White Glove Tour of the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Bell’s life; hear Mi’kmaw stories and music while on an Eskasoni Cultural Journey; discover Chéticamp’s Acadian history and world-famous hooked rugs at Les Trois Pignons Museum; visit Baile nan Gàidheal | Highland Village, an outdoor living history museum and Gaelic folklife centre that illustrates the story, culture and identity of Nova Scotia Gaels; or tap your toes to the Celtic tunes and try your hand at playing the fiddle at the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre. Tales of Cape Breton’s past continue to influence its future with countless opportunities for you to become immersed in the Island’s stories.
Canada by USA Today 10Best—the spectacular cliffside ocean vista is a reward for the senses.

Ceilidh Trail
CEILIDH TRAIL
Lawrence’s Beach, Port Hood
Gaelic culture at its best
“C
eilidh” (kay-lee) is Gaelic for “gathering,” and a journey along the Ceilidh Trail (Route 19) by vehicle, or the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail by bike, offers an opportunity to experience the true meaning of the word. Both routes run parallel to the ocean and connect the communities and attractions along the way.
Meet the locals by stopping into the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre or The Red Shoe Pub for some live music and dancing, and enjoy a delicious meal at The Clove Hitch Bar & Bistro overlooking the ocean in Port Hood. Say hello to artist Ann Schroeder and peruse her beautiful hand-painted quilts and silk scarves. A trip to Mabou wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Mabou Farmers’ Market. Over 40 vendors offer delicious local food and produce, beautiful jewellery and art, and of course, live music on Sunday mornings. For the golfer in your group head to Inverness and play a round at the world-renowned Cabot Cliffs or Cabot Links, named #13 and #25 respectively on Golf Digest’s World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses for 2024, #1 and #6 respectively on Golf Digest’s Best Courses in Canada for 2024, and #1 and #3 respectively on SCOREGolf’s Top 100 for 2024.
Unexpected discoveries Galloping Cows Fine Foods, Port Hood This culinary treasure offers hand-crafted preserves that were featured in gift baskets at the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and the Toronto International Film Festival.

Glenora Distillery, Glenville North American’s first distiller of single-malt whisky is cradled in a glen in the picturesque Mabou Highlands. Enjoy a tour of the distillery, followed by a taste of Glen Breton Rare whisky—the closest to authentic Scotch outside of Scotland. Don’t forget your dancing shoes, The Glenora Pub has traditional ceilidhs twice a day. Make it an overnight stay and book a room in the inn, lodge or a chalet on site.

Hike, golf and dance the Highlands
“I
have travelled the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes and the Alps and the highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.”
The Keltic Resort, Ingonish Beach
—Alexander Graham Bell The natural beauty of the highlands provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as golfing, kayaking, hiking, cycling, fishing, bird-watching, skiing, and snowmobiling. And don’t forget the drive—the Cabot Trail was previously voted Best Scenic Drive in Canada by USA Today 10Best. The panoramic views are spectacular!

Cabot Trail
Golfers will never forget a day at the Stanley Thompson– designed Cape Breton Highlands Links, consistently ranked as one of the ten best golf courses in Canada. For a different perspective, take a guided kayak tour with Cabot Trail Adventures along the highlands of Northern Cape Breton. One of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America, this remote and rugged coast offers imposing cliffs of ancient bedrock, which feature waterfalls, sea caves, and towering arches. Some of the best hiking opportunities in Nova Scotia are found in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, previously voted Best National Park in Canada by USA Today 10Best, with 26 trails for all interests and abilities. For a truly spectacular sunset view, take part in the Skyline Trail Sunset Meat Cove Campground
Hike. This guided hike leads you to the top of a mountain headland, overlooking the ocean as the sun slowly dips into the horizon. The beauty of the highlands inspires many artisans living around the Cabot Trail. Stop in to watch them create their art, or try one of the hands-on workshops such as glass blowing at Glass Artisans Studio & Gallery. The Cabot Trail’s natural beauty is only outdone by the area’s unique culture and unrivalled hospitality. You’ll feel like a local after attending a ceilidh and hearing some of Cape Breton’s finest musicians. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes, because you’ll be up learning how to step or square dance with new friends in no time. By the end of your stay, you may even know a few words of the Gaelic language. Plan to spend at least three to five days along the Cabot Trail, where you’ll discover how Nova Scotia, or “New Scotland,” got its name. Rug hooking at Les Trois Pignons

Salmon fishing on the Margaree River For generations, anglers have been lured to the Margaree’s tumbling rapids, deep pools, and still marshes. This popularity has attracted the TV show The New Fly Fisher, which chose the Margaree River as its first Nova Scotia location. Arrange a fishing guide to help you try your luck.
Pay a visit to this four-season adventure centre. Take in the views as you ride Atlantic Canada’s first gondola to the top of Cape Smokey; also a spectacular way to view the fall foliage. During the winter months ski, snowboard, cross-country ski or snowshoe; in summer enjoy paddleboard and kayak rentals, hikes and ice cream from the Summit Shack at the top of the mountain.
Skyline Trail Parking Reservations From June 26–October 25, 2026 parking reservations are required at Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Visit www.parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ns/ cbreton for more information.
Kayaking off Northern Cape Breton One of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America, this remote and rugged coast offers magnificent cliffs, sea caves, unique rock formations, and the occasional whale passerby. The challenging nature of this environment is only suited for experienced paddlers, and a guided tour is recommended.

Whale watching Pods of Atlantic pilot whales spend their summers gorging on squid just off the shores of Pleasant Bay and Chéticamp. Book a Zodiac tour to view these highly social sea creatures, which are sometimes as intrigued by you as you are by them. Along with many species of whales, chances are you’ll see porpoises, seals, and seabirds while out on the open water. The best times to see whales are in the summer and fall months. Don’t miss stopping into the Whale Interpretive Centre in Pleasant Bay with knowledgeable interpreters and interactive exhibits.
Kayaking in Dingwall Harbour
Puffin-viewing boat tour These cute, stocky seabirds summer in large colonies on coastal cliffs and rocky offshore islands before making their way south in the fall. Due to the remoteness of their nesting areas, a boat tour to sites like the Bird Islands— Hertford and Ciboux—is the best way to view them.

Cycling the Cabot Trail Named one of the top ten cycling destinations in the world by Lonely Planet, the Cabot Trail is a must-do on every cycling enthusiast’s itinerary. The nearly 300 kilometres of paved roads take you along rolling terrain and up steep hills, all with a view of the open ocean. There are several tour packages available to help you make the most of this epic excursion, like those with Cabot Trail Adventures. If you prefer an independent adventure, head to Vélo Max Cycling in Chéticamp to rent a bike and pick up cycling supplies before hitting the hills.

Bras d’Or Lake
tunning scenery is a fact of life in Nova Scotia, and that is especially true in the Bras d’Or Lake region. Literally translated as “Arm of Gold,” the name surely was inspired by the sunsets over Canada’s only inland sea. With a complex sequence of barrier beaches, rocky headlands, barachois ponds, and wetlands, it is no surprise that the area is a designated UNESCO Biosphere Region. Here, you can connect with vibrant Mi’kmaw and Gaelic cultures. Experience Eskasoni Cultural Journeys on Goat Island to hear local stories, songs, and drumming, while learning about Mi’kmaw ways of life past and present. Immerse yourself in Gaelic culture at the Highland Village Museum | Baile nan Gàidheal and experience North America’s only living history museum for Gaelic language and culture. Tour the historic buildings and award-winning exhibits in the new Welcome Centre, try hands-on activities, and be sure to stop by the Village Store for Gaelic-inspired gifts, baked goods or a takeaway charcuterie box to enjoy on your adventures. Pick up picnic supplies and visit the St. Peter’s Canal National Historic Site, where you will learn how the canal has provided a link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bras d’Or Lake for over 140 years.
