About Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

 

* Rated #1 island destination in North America.
* Ranked as an "Island Paradise" in Fodor's Travel News 2008. 
* Rated #2 Island in the world by National Geographic's Traveler Magazine.
* Rated the most beautiful island and amongst the most friendly people in the world by   Conde Nast Traveler magazine!

 

Cape Breton Island is composed mainly of rocky shores, rolling farmlands, glacial valleys, barren headlands, mountains, mixed forests and highland plateaus. Geological evidence suggests that at least part of the island was originally joined with present-day Scotland and Norway, now separated by millions of years of continental drift.


The residents of Cape Breton can be grouped into five main cultures; Scottish, Mi'kmaq, Acadian, Irish, and English. English is now the primary spoken language, though Mi'kmaq, French and Gaelic are still heard. In fact it is said that more people speak the Gaelic language in Cape Breton then in all of Scotland. The Celtic music and culture of Cape Breton is very much alive today. Cape Breton is well known for its traditional fiddle music and céilidhs are celebrated across the island.

 

Though founded on the industries of fishing and mining, Cape Breton has become an international symbol in the tourism industry and for good reason. This island is home to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the world famous coastal mountain drive, the Cabot Trail. With such natural beauty, various wildlife and lively culture, Cape Breton Island has gained recognition as being one of the most beautiful island destinations in the world.
