Cape Breton Island Attractions

Cape Breton Island is actually the north-eastern part of the province of Nova Scotia, separated from it by the Strait of Canso and linked by a dam, to cross which a toll is charged.

A charming blend of sea and land is the hallmark of this island, so rich in stocks of coal and at the same time boasting the highest mountains in Nova Scotia.

Small towns, national historic sites and parks, and beautiful coastal scenery draw visitors here. Many people also come here on hiking or biking trips during the summer months.
