The Cabot Trail is a nearly 300 km long scenic driving route on the island of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia. It’s considered one of the most beautiful road trips in North America.
Known for being a slow-paced and beautiful corner of Nova Scotia, the Cabot Trail is well-marked, easy to drive, and filled with tons of attractions. It loops in either direction, starting from Baddeck or the Trans Canada Highway. A lot of people ask whether you should drive the Cabot Trail clockwise or counterclockwise. Honestly, it doesn’t matter, unless you want to visit us our little island off Cape-Breton Island! Find us 20 minutes off the 104, going towards St. Peter’s and enjoy not only the ocean views and affordable accommodations, but some of the best nature activities, from biking to kayaking & provincial beach walks.
