The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Cape Breton Island, Canada

January 3, 2022 Darleen Reid

"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.

St. Paul South West Lighthouse

this light house is part of the St. Paul Island Museum

Reviewed By frankmZ6412LU

We almost passed up stopping at this small museum and lighthouse. Fortunately we did drop in, as the experience was certainly worthwhile. The museum is small and displays are not extensive but the folks on duty were very chatty and informative about local history. The young woman who led us on a tour of the lighthouse was also well informed and the lighthouse itself is interesting, especially the giant Fresnel lens that focused and projected the light.

St. Peter's Canal National Historic Site

Reviewed By 716louised - Edmonton, Canada

Park staff were friendly and very informative. They took the time to answer all of our questions while they worked to keep the canal running smoothly. We swan the canal as part of Nicolas Denys Days and that was an experience not to be missed!
