Story by: Team Destination Cape Breton

Every year Cape Breton Island is included in ‘Must See’ or ‘Must Travel To’ lists and 2022 is no different. CNN listed Cape Breton Island as one of their ‘Where to travel 2022: The best destinations to visit’. And we couldn’t agree more!

Cape Breton Island is known for its incredible scenery, mouth-watering lobster, world-class golf courses, engaging living cultural tourism and foot-stomping Celtic Music. Whether you’re looking to relax on a beach, hike to incredible heights or experience a ceilidh, Cape Breton Island has something for every traveller. From its storied history and culture to music, talented artisans, and friendly locals, a new discovery awaits you around every turn. With so much to see and do here, you may have to plan a second trip, but as we say on the Island your heart will never leave.
