Discover Cape Breton’s North Shore

Upon leaving the Sydney metropolitan area, we travel into the peaceful Cape Breton countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city traffic. Along the way, we cross the little Bras d’ Or, where we see many small pleasure boats on the glistening lake.

At Kelly’s Mountain, we stop at two stunning lookouts–the Bras d’ Or and Saint Ann’s Bay. From the spectacular Saint Ann’s lookout, enjoy scenic views of Saint Ann’s Bay before we proceed to cross the bay via the Englishtown Ferry and tour through the beautiful Cape Breton Highlands along the Cabot Trail.

We pass through sparsely populated communities where the residents make a living from the sea as fishermen or in the forest as loggers and pulp-cutters. We tour through communities with names such as South Gut Saint Ann’s, North Gut Saint Ann’s, North River Bridge, Tarbotvale, Breton Cove, Skir Dhu, French River, and Wreck Cove, named for the tremendous amount of ships that ran aground in the area.

Explore the magnificent Cape Smokey (it is very, very steep, but the scenery is unsurpassed) before arriving in the Ingonish area, home to the upscale Keltic Lodge at Middlehead and Highland Links Golf Course, which has been ranked many times over as the number one golf course in Canada.
