Looking to visit some super epic waterfalls this summer as part of your safe escape to Cape Breton? Well we’ve got just the five for you to explore.
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.
The St. Ann’s Bay area starts at the Exit 11 turnoff on the Trans-Canada Highway and it goes right up until the base of Cape Smokey. The views that you get are super-breathtaking. In the fall, it’s just like a haven of colours.
When you get to a certain point, you look to your left and you see a towering lighthouse and you look to your right and you see this fortress, which is unlike being anywhere else, at least in Canada.
Chart your own course for adventure. Sail the fog-free waters of the Cape Breton’s inland sea. Marina hop from port to port along the Island’s exquisite coast.

My name is Riley Beaton and I am from Mabou, Cape Breton Island. I’ve always had a deep passion for adventure, the outdoors, and photography so getting to explore hidden gems on the Island that I love was very suiting and enjoyable. @rileybeaton2

It is very hard not to fall in love with Cape Breton Island in the fall season. Read here why our ambassadors have fallen for this beautiful island, and perhaps why it will be a favourite for you too.
Cape Breton is a beautiful island in any season, but there's one season where it shines brighter and that's fall!
