Things to do in Cape Breton Island, Canada: The Best Traveler Resources
"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.

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.

I went to visit the library last year to look for a book in order to analyze for my thesis paper back in high school. The book is very old and I could not find it anywhere else except for Cape Breton Regional Library. The staffs were welcoming and they greeted me very well. They asked for the name of the book and quickly after that they handed me the book. Also you do not need to pay for anything when you come and borrow the resources. They have a huge amount of resources from the books on display to the books that they kept in the back of the house. They also have 5 to 6 computers that everyone can access to if you do not have a personal one at home. You are welcome to use the computer there. When you sign to borrow a book, they will give the date that you have to return it usually it is about 2 or 3 weeks. The staff will make a phone call with you to remind about returning the book 1 or 2 days before the returning date. You can also ask to prolong the return date through that phone call without having to come to the place. They will normally except to do so unless there is another person borrow it beforehand. Additionally, there is free wifi and a large working space which is very quiet and comfortable for people to read or use their computer to work. The decoration of the library is extremely nice, vintage style and cozy. I really enjoy my visit and I always want to visit it again.

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