To gain an appreciation for the Island’s history, visit the Cape Breton Miners’ Museum or one of our four National Historic Sites, including the Fortress of Louisbourg, the largest historical reconstruction in North America. Music is the glue that holds the Cape Breton community together, and to experience our traditional Celtic music live is an exciting and very authentic experience. Cape Breton is also a first rate golf destination, offering a varied mix of beautiful courses that challenge players of all levels, including the #1 public golf course in Canada, the Highlands Links. And then there’s the Cabot Trail, considered to be one of the world’s most scenic drives. It provides a breathtaking tour of some of the Island’s most charming communities and is an experience not to be missed.
