Cape Breton Island is a haven of adventures. Mainly, tourists love it for its extensive coastline surrounded by picturesque cliffs and vistas. You can drive through the world-famous Cabot Trail to appreciate the island’s unbelievable beauty. Then, explore Cape Breton Highlands National Park through one of its many hiking trails. If you love fishing, you can throw a line on Margaree River and make an abundant catch. The island is also home to numerous historical attractions. In Baddeck, you will find Alexander Graham Bell’s iconic summer home. One of the best ways to unwind after an adventure-filled day outdoors is to jump in a hot tub for a refreshing dip.
