Cape Breton at a Glance
Cape Breton Island, where captivating landscapes and strong cultural roots
combine to create a sumptuous feast for the senses. Located off the eastern
coast of Nova Scotia, Cape
Breton is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Strait
of Canso in one of the most rugged, remote areas of the province. It's a confluence
of beaches, cliffs, land and sea ideal for birds, with birdwatching a thriving
pastime. The first Europeans to settle in Cape Breton were the Scottish and
French, whose cultural influences still permeate the land. The Ceilidh
(kay-lee) Trail, Gaelic for party or gathering, greet visitors with stunning
panoramas and the occasional sounds of Cape Breton-style fiddlers and bag pipes.
The Cabot
Trail runs through much of the region and its changing landscapes. For a
taste of Acadian culture, Cheticamp has the Musee Acadienne and in the north
end of town, locals sell traditional handmade hooked rugs.
