Cape Breton Island holidays

Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

Majestic scenery, unforgettable experiences and friendly locals... What more could you want for your next holiday? Set off for Cape Breton right away – while it's still relatively unknown – and make sure you have the best trip possible by finding your holiday rental on Holiday Lettings.

About Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

Found on the north-east tip of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton is only connected to the mainland by a rock-filled causeway.

This makes it the perfect secluded spot for a week away, and there's plenty to explore while you're there.

You can see the island's history at almost every turn. You'll find evidence of the Acadians, Aboriginal and Gaelic forebears if you look hard enough – or head to one of the exciting museums on offer.

The rugged yet beautiful landscape makes this the perfect place to explore. So chuck away those maps, just wander through the forests, breath in that fresh air and let Cape Breton do the rest.

What to do in Cape Breton

The best way to see Cape Breton is to follow the Cabot driving trail. You drive along the shoreline, looking over rocky cliffs, and then right through the national park. Don't forget your camera, because this is one trip you do not want to miss!

If you fancy finding out more about the history of the area, there are plenty of opportunities to do so. Head to the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site – it'll show you how the Silver Dart—one of the earliest aeroplanes—was created! The Cape Breton Centre for Heritage and Science is pretty good, too.

For a real step back in time visit the Fortress of Louisbourg – the largest historical reconstruction in North America. It's a bit noisy with all the military drumming, musket shots and bubbly townfolk, but it's an experience you'll never forget.

As Cape Breton's an island, it's no surprise that there's lots to do on the water. Go canoeing or kayaking, or take a boat out and go whale watching.
