Living History - Portraits by Steve Wadden

Embark on a coastal adventure to Cape Breton Island and discover a world where coastal beauty meets serene seascapes.

Snow Covered mountains.  Forests and fields blanketed with fresh layers of snow, your winter adventure just waiting to be explored.  Cape Breton’s hiking trails and scenic routes are like works of art from mother nature’s winter palate. 

Tap your toes to fiddle tunes at a Ceilidh. See authentic Acadian crafts at Les Trois Pignons. Take a piece of Mi’kmaq culture home with you at a drum-making workshop. On Cape Breton Island, culture is all around you just waiting to be explored!

Glace Bay is a town rich in culture, history and, oddly enough, wildlife. If you're a history buff, wildlife watcher or want to spend an evening out for dinner and a show then you need to spend a day in the Bay.

From fossil hunting, searching for sea glass, and rockhounding to hiking, kayaking, and swimming the Northside's beaches offer a range of options. And with a history going back millions of years, there's plenty to see and learn about too.

Atlantic lobster from Cape Breton Island is renowned for being the freshest and some of the tastiest lobster in the world.

A lot of people don’t think of Glace Bay as a tourist destination, but with the history, the views along this coast, and the kind and friendly people, they are missing out.

It’s time to find the heartiest, homemade meal on Cape Breton Island this winter.  Our Island offers many options to chase away the chill. 

Cape Breton Island invites all golf lovers to hit the greens this summer! Be sure to look "fore" the opening date and book your tee time. We will see you there.

Come late November, when parts of Canada begin to be blanketed with snow, Cape Breton wonders if Mother Nature has forgotten her. Not a chance. Winter on Cape Breton Island is inevitable.
