Cape Breton’s South Coast
Somewhere between the Canso Causeway and Louisbourg, you’ll find the Capes, Keys and Coves region of the Island — the heart of Acadie alongside the Island’s best surf and charming coastal fishing villages.
Through the sounds of fiddles, pipes, and a uniquely Cape Breton French dialect, discover the rich cultural tapestry and joie de vivre of Cape Breton’s South Coast.
Oh The Things You’ll See
Experience salty seaside living with a hint of je ne c’est quoi. Explore the 150-year-old St. Peter’s Canal, linking the Atlantic to the Bras d’Or Lake. Hike through wild forests or beachcomb along the seacoast and paddle into the horizon. Find the perfect wave—and yourself—along starkly beautiful coastlines.
