Cape North
Cape North is the practical centre of life at the northern tip of Cape Breton — the place travellers stop for fuel, groceries, and a meal between the Cabot Trail's two big mountain climbs. The North Highlands Community Museum is a charming small-town record of fishing, mining, and Mi'kmaw life in the area.
The road north from Cape North leads to Dingwall, Meat Cove, and the Cabot Landing Provincial Park.
