With its salt-tanged fishing villages and mountainous interior cloaked in dense woods, Cape Breton is the prize of Nova Scotia, a green getaway splashed with lakes and lapped by the blue water of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean. No visit to Cape Breton Island is complete without experiencing the Cabot Trail. This world renowned attraction winds its way along the northern tip of the island and showcases some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Canada. Although it is only 298 kilometers long, you could spend days taking in all of the many museums, galleries, music and other attractions found in the still vibrant Gaelic and Acadian cultures along the way.
