Fall is when Cape Breton comes alive.
Our most photogenic season, you’ll find hiking tours and famed fishing holes, farm-to-fork cuisine, world-class cycling, and a special at-home edition of the Celtic Colours International Festival.
With the autumn foliage on full display, it’s the perfect time to journey into our iconic wilderness on a family hike, savour the last swings of the season at Canada’s only true links course, forage for market-fresh goods, or hit the open road to experience the coastal, colorful curves of the Cabot Trail.
Autumn’s beauty is calling. It’s time to answer.
It’s that magical time of year when the temperature starts dropping and nature explodes with colour. Plan your safe escape.
Franey Sunrise
James Forsey's photo of Franey Mountain at sunrise was voted the winner of the #FallforCapeBreton Photo Contest. Congratulations James!
