Visitor Info

Cape Breton Island, located off the north east coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, offers breathtaking scenery, rolling seacoasts and a friendly atmosphere which is sure to make your vacation experience unforgettable. 

National Geographic Traveler ranks Cape Breton Island second among the world’s greatest travel destinations. 

Cape Breton Island is easily accessible by road, sea and air. If you are traveling by car, there are two entry points to the Island – the Canso Causeway at Port Hastings and car ferries traveling from Port-aux-Basques and Argentia, Newfoundland, to the Marine Atlantic terminal in North Sydney.
