8 Visitor Centers in Cape Breton Island That You Shouldn't Miss

August 16, 2021 Chanda Heide

"For simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all." So said Alexander Graham Bell of the island he adopted as his home. Rich with Celtic, Mi'kmaq and Acadian heritage, Cape Breton is a delight for history buffs, music lovers and explorers of nature. Immerse yourself in 18th-century life at the Fortress of Louisbourg, explore the winding roads and Atlantic vistas of the Cabot Trail, and seek out a local Ceilidh for a lively and rousing experience.

Port Hastings Provincial Visitor Information Centre

We've been driving to Newfoundland from PA for many years and always stop here. The first time we stopped here was when we toured Cape Breton Island and yes, I'll admit it began as a pit stop. Very nice clean restrooms are welcome after a long drive. We gathered our info and had a quick picnic at the tables provided. There is a recycling station that also came in handy. The view was awesome--the causeway and bridge were clearly visible. There is also a totem pole which I photographed. Don't miss the lighthouse on a hill with a cemetery surrounding it. We stop every year to picnic and have a chat with these friendly people.

Loved the visitor centre. Helpful people, modern facilities right next to the cruise dock and fiddle. Upstairs we saw a wonderful music presentation.
