Simply stated, Cape Breton Island is a beautiful and inviting island particularly for people who, more than anything, want to relax and enjoy a slower pace of life.

The diversity of the physical landscape and the hospitality of the people make this a place to be explored and savoured.

Depending upon one's interests and perspective, the Island is appealing for any number of reasons.

For some, including campers, hikers and bikers, the major point of interest is likely to be one or more of Cape Breton's five scenic trails, including the unparalleled Cabot Trail.

For golfers, Cape Breton offers a number of truly magnificent golf courses, including the Highlands' Links course in Ingonish or Bell Bay in Baddeck.

For people who love the water, visiting Cape Breton means enjoying a unique sailing or boating experience in the vast inland sea known as the Bras d'Or Lakes.

For history enthusiasts, Cape Breton is a visit to the Fortress Louisbourg, which is the major historical reconstruction project in all of eastern North America, or a visit to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck, which provides a remarkable insight into the life and times of this amazing inventor and individual.

Cape Breton, however, is also about ceilidhs and sandy beaches and concerts and fabulous fishing and much more.
