If you have upcoming plans to visit Cape Breton Island, we want to reassure you that we are open and looking forward to welcoming you.
St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching and what good is celebrating this festive day without listening and dancing to Celtic music. Luckily Cape Breton Island is home to some of the best Celtic music out there. Let the fiddle get you out on the dance
No matter the time of year, for my wife and I, the weekend means heading to the Cabot Trail for an adventure.
Lakeside Luxury Domes made for the perfect accommodation for exploring the Bras d’Or Lakes. The domes are close enough that you can hear the waves crashing on the beach stones.
Don't put that camera away just because it's cold! Winter on Cape Breton Island is an Instagrammer's wonderland.
Whether you come for the fishing or relaxing on the River, a day at the beach, or a square dance in Southwest Margaree, you’ll leave refreshed and exhilarated, and ready to plan your return.
There are direct flights to Sydney from Toronto and Montreal and from other North American and European cities via Halifax. If traveling by ground, the Trans-Canada Highway 104 leads to Cape Breton Island.
