“Along the Cabot Trail, on the East side of Cape Breton, only a few kilometers away from the main route, there is this wonderful beach, secluded and hidden from the parking lot by a long mound of rounded rocks. Beyond it... is the sand and the Atlantic Ocean, in all its beauty.”

“Beautiful stop right along the Cabot Trail! This was a really cool spot that we wish we would've spent more time (a few hours) at to relax. There's also a beach here that many families were using, swimming in the water, wading in the surf, and playing in the sand.”


Black Brook Beach

“Breathtaking, panoramic view of the beach, pure clean sand, high surf at times. Really special spot. Not over crowded, a must see in Cape Breton.

"Lovely beach!
Enjoyed the beach at West Mabou – dramatic green hillsides and steep cliffs – long beach for walking, ample parking. Water surprisingly warm for nice swimming.

"So let's be straight off , the beach is not sandy but still nice and the sandbar at low tide is very nice. Excellent views of the harbour, parking for lots of cars, a play ground for the kids, great place to watch the ferries in and out of the harbour.

"Best beach on Cape Breton, Warm waters, nice sandy beach, lots of shells and beach glass.The water was warm enough for me to swim in and we also relaxed on the beautiful long spacious beach and spent hours walking to find cool shells and beach glass (lots found at low tide)."


Port Hood Beach

"A little chunk of heaven on earth! Beautiful sand packed beach with many varieties of birds. Careful driving in! You can park along the road side. There is a turning point but beyond soft sand!

"Beautiful spot to watch the sunset, take a run. Gorgeous! I wish we has stayed in Dingwall longer for a nice day at this beach! It's stunning! Nice place in the morning to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee and some meditation.
