The initial route was completed in 1932 and today runs 298 kilometres through the Cape Breton Highlands. Halifax “pub crawl” anyone? There are more pubs per capita here than any other city in Canada. Halifax boasts the second largest ice-free natural harbour in the world after Sydney, Australia. Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland. The province was named by Sir William Alexander who was given the land by King James VI of Scotland in 1621. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625842469056-VMKRBO075ZMQQ6WL92QL/thought-catalog-23KdVfc395A-unsplash.jpg Discover the Maritimes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622422172355-K6ZCHLUWERPDG6FKO8OO/%21+DJI_0777.jpg Discover the Maritimes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.movingtothemaritimes.com/nova-scotia daily 0.75 2023-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622045924152-AYSHDDH3V0G3F00UN3V1/NS-Regions-white.jpeg Nova Scotia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625600474036-S504FMT9Z1MZRRLUM2TQ/shutterstock_1234021174+%5BConverted%5D.png Nova Scotia - The entire coastline of the Atlantic totals more than 43,000 kilometres. You can enjoy an infinite variety of seaside activities in this vast expanse, from taking a long walk on an uncrowded beach to nature viewing on a grand scale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1620266861996-FWMA02EWW1Q18J9VD653/046A0205.jpg Nova Scotia - South Shore Popular destinations on the south shore include Chester, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, and Liverpool — all offering generous doses of culture along with beaches, hiking trails and a satisfyingly slower pace of life. These can all be found within a couple of hours of downtown Halifax. Chester’s reputation is built upon its coveted status as a sailing destination, with a series of coastal islands, inlets and protected nature reserves. The popular community seaside golf course has one of the best canteens in the province. Lunenburg beckons with walking and biking trails, outstanding fishing, and an ever-growing culinary scene. Mahone Bay and Liverpool encapsulate centuries of ocean lore, picturesque historical centres, and abundant natural attractions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622215419104-MOTP98KPAZZ7UUUSE3HE/DJI_0041_2_3_4_5.jpg Nova Scotia - Bay of Fundy & Annapolis Valley The locals call it “The Valley” and this is where the action is for culinary lovers, as the region’s wine producers continue to build on growing international recognition. City dwellers take advantage of the quick commute, leaving the urban hustle behind to enjoy a day of fine wine and fine food. Wineries Benjamin Bridge and Luckett Vineyards are flagship examples of the kind of top quality that produces driving interest in this area. A very agreeable climate in the spring and fall — safe from the cooling sea layer effect that can hang around Halifax and the Eastern Shore — helps extend the seasons. This region is home to Acadia University, so residents benefit from the excitement and energy that comes with the seasonal ebb and flow of student activity. Outstanding farmer’s markets proffer the bounty of this fertile growing region, with the famous Tangled Garden in Grand Pre drawing locals and tourists alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622247761968-ADTVQFOF05ZU9R13QRUR/NS+page+.jpg Nova Scotia - Northumberland Shore Over the past few years — and during the Covid pandemic — the North Shore has become an increasingly popular destination. East coasters and newcomers alike are exploring this region both for getaway cottages and year-round homes. This area fronts the Northumberland Straight, known for warm waters that provide a moderating effect on the local climate. You could say the North Shore offers more bang for your buck, making it very attractive to anyone who craves a life on the water without the accompanying price tag. Branded as the Sunrise Trail for tourism purposes, it offers an almost overly generous serving of rolling hills and pastoral scenes. On the drive along Route 6 you will pass through gorgeous farmlands extending from Amherst to Pugwash and beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/4eecd9c6-ff72-4497-ac99-18dccc2e5783/ClamHarbour.jpg Nova Scotia - Eastern Shore We call this the undiscovered country — it’s one of the few areas of the province that is not serviced by a series 100 highway. Depending on who you ask, this can be a good or a bad thing (sometimes both). It’s just 45 minutes from downtown Halifax and we feel there is outstanding investment potential here. The Eastern Shore is home to some of the province’s most spectacular beaches, so if you’re into surfing, wildlife and incredible natural scenery…this is your spot. Case in point: You could arrive here on a sunny Canada Day weekend and easily find parking. Destinations like Taylors Head and Clam Harbour are not to be missed. In the past, it’s been known as a foggier, cooler area of the province but (without scientific data to back this up) we’re sensing that the effects of climate change are taking some of the edge off. This area is a great option for younger adventurous working folks, especially if you’re on a budget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622215509826-LSBLVA71VDSDFWRCGZ1H/shutterstock_322881716.jpg Nova Scotia - Cape Breton Island The legend of Cape Breton is what it is, and everything you’ve heard is true. The spectacular scenery, the Cabot Trail, the Bras d'Or Lakes….Even with its fame, there’s exceptional value for investors here. Sure it’s a longer drive from Halifax, but it’s sure worth the ride. Many tourists will spend a few days doing the famed Cabot Trail, which is particularly scenic during the fall. This is also a golfer’s paradise, with the number one ranked course in the country at Cabot Cliffs, and Highland Links and Cabot Links not far behind. Visitors from all over the world arrive in private jets to get away from it all and enjoy the friendly laid-back vibe.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1620306382514-95ZUHV9M9GBBL5F2GZ4W/IMG_7690.jpg Nova Scotia - Yarmouth and Acadian Shore Tourism Nova Scotia sums this region up the best! “Yarmouth & Acadian Shores is quiet and peaceful, yet full of adventure. Where the land meets the sea and you will experience both English and Acadian cultures and where the darkest skies let the stars shine their brightest. It’s where the food is fresh and local, and the music is too.This region is part of North America’s first starlight destination - Acadian Skies and Mi’kmaq Lands - as designated by the International Starlight Foundation. Here you can discover dark skies like nowhere else, with brilliant stars from distant galaxies shining against the night sky.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625600609002-EOS0M318CT8QZ3K7WOOB/DID+YOU+KNOW+graphic+shutterstock_1831882150+%5BConverted%5D.png Nova Scotia - Nova Scotia's wine country is shaped by the sea. Its Tidal Bay appellation is unique in North America and is known for the cool, crisp profile and unique aromatic notes in the wines. With roots reaching to the 1600s, Nova Scotia was one of the first areas to cultivate wine grapes in North America. Tee it up... Nova Scotia is a golfer's paradise!

Greater Fredericton Region Fredericton is the capital of New Brunswick, located on the Saint John River in the eastern part of the province. It’s a fun town, as busy and exciting as any capital in Canada, but without the intensity. Recognized for award-winning infrastructure, the City of Fredericton has been named to the Intelligent Community Forum’s (ICF) annual Smart21 list five times. Work, play and culture intermingle in the Greater Fredericton Region, with the city’s University of Fredericton a highly regarded hub of academia and fine arts. Nearby communities offer a wide range of lifestyle options, and there’s no doubt you can find something to suit. The Village of New Maryland on the southern border of Fredericton offers diverse recreational opportunities and ever-expanding walking trails. The Town of Oromocto is an ideal location for a growing family, with eight neighbourhood parts and five school yard playgrounds, plus a golf course and marina. The rural community of Hanwell and the Town of Nackawic, centred on a waterfront so picturesque it is often compared with Alberta’s Lake Louise, round out your options. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625685678034-L9C7P7E08YTZSBNATSVM/DID+YOU+KNOW+graphic+shutterstock_1831882150+%5BConverted%5D.png New Brunswick - In New Brunswick as of May 2021 the average price of a single family home rose by 30.2% to a record $242,100 (year-over-year). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1620306737362-GH4DP217PWYQ6C0FOQCC/CapeJourimainLighthouse.jpg New Brunswick - Moncton Region Southeast New Brunswick is centred on the city of Moncton.

This is Canada’s first incorporated city — but it’s awash with contemporary vibes too. As a city, it’s got it all: urban parks, easy access to nature, coastal intrigue, and hiking trails in Rockwood Park. A lovely balance between urban energy and rural escape…and a great foodie scene… pretty easy to love. And nearby, you’ve got a choice of towns including Quispamsis, Rothesay, Grand Bay-Westfield, Hampton and the Village of St. Martins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622248141338-P75ID6CNXVQQDEWH76UA/conor-hennessy-ROlXRfdhmEo-unsplash.jpg New Brunswick - Northwest Region The smallest in the province, this region encompasses many communities nestled along the Saint John River near the Appalachian mountains, such as Edmunston, Grand Falls, Hartland, St. Leonard and Woodstock. With outdoor activities galore — cycling, boating, skiing, hiking… you name it — there is almost too much to do. Bordering Quebec and the United States, this region also reflects these diverse cultural influences — and is well situated for fans of road trips. Just get in the car and drive… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1623372123768-03G3CSE0VFTZIDZHGUBW/AdobeStock_238412094.jpeg New Brunswick - Northeast Region Dominated by French-speaking communities and a strong Acadian culture, the Northeast Region combines Appalachian and coastal locales, along with particularly striking geography and no shortage of incredible views. This is also a hub of industrial activity. Prominent areas include Restigouche Campbellton, Chaleur Bathurst, the Acadian Peninsula and the Greater Miramichi. Cultural roots run deep, which can be felt in the local customs, cuisine and arts. https://www.movingtothemaritimes.com/newfoundland-and-labrador daily 0.75 2021-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625760883936-QNXSRAK56EVRZXDOUELF/DID+YOU+KNOW+graphic+shutterstock_1831882150+%5BConverted%5D.png Newfoundland and Labrador - Newfoundland’s capital city St. John's has one of the most colourful waterfronts in the world. One explanation for the “jellybean” effect is to help fishers spot the shore through the fog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625685872425-CSECZGAZKYIH2KTGG3WY/shutterstock_1234021174+%5BConverted%5D.png Newfoundland and Labrador - St. John’s, Newfoundland, is one of the oldest cities in North America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1626100357398-M4ICJ8X8VNKCMECQE25D/FAMILYSHOT.jpeg Newfoundland and Labrador - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622251284224-2F1C7A5ZNK1IYHJTBUVI/erik-mclean-LBDkOa3X44E-unsplash.jpg Newfoundland and Labrador - East and St. John’s Capital city St. John’s is situated on the east side of the Avalon Peninsula, and fans of This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Republic of Doyle will know it well. And it is exactly like that. The downtown homes look out on St. John’s Harbour, and there are many tree-filled parks and tree-lined streets. But it’s still a modern city, and a fast-growing one, with many suburban pockets and newer developments. The Avalon itself has dozens of little towns dotting the shore, and the drives are spectacular. Nearby areas such as Conception Bay and Bonavista-Trinity offer multitudes of choice for living — you can be gloriously remote or in the thick of it, or somewhere in between. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622251380239-3QSBKFBVS1VCHXP7K6SZ/krista-kankula-gmFMcuQSrq0-unsplash.jpg Newfoundland and Labrador - West The western edge of the province stretches 750 kilometres from Channel-Port aux Basques (the ferry terminal is here) to the south up to the Viking site of L’Anse aux Meadows at the top of the Great Northern Peninsula. The craggy coast features fjords and mountains, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and the International Appalachian Trail. The bigger cities on the island’s west coast include Stephenville and Corner Brook. There’s plenty of wilderness out here — yes, you’ll see moose. And also, lots of activity, including the Marble Mountain Ski Resort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622251839903-E4YR5RFRQBNQ0H58U1AG/erik-mclean-Cbxp4LiniIQ-unsplash.jpg Newfoundland and Labrador - Labrador For a wonderful immersion into what the interior of Labrador is like in all its barren glory, read Hammond Innes’s “The Land God Gave to Cain.” Labrador borders northern Quebec to the south and west, and the Atlantic Ocean, a portion of which is named the Labrador Sea, to the east. Centres of activity include Churchill, Labrador City and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. If solitude is what you seek, you can find it here: though Labrador constitutes 71 percent of the provinces area, only about six percent of the population lives here. It is a formidable and remarkably beautiful piece of Canada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622251878592-ZF9GMP2A78OCNWFC3UC1/fogo-island-inn.jpg Newfoundland and Labrador - Other Areas of Interest Such a vast landscape cannot be summed up in a paragraph, but some of the attractions that might be familiar include Fogo Island, home of the world-renowned Fogo Island Inn, and the source for some of the finest seafood sold in restaurants across Canada. Central Newfoundland might be familiar as the location of Gander International Airport, featured in the hit musical Come from Away. Fans of French culture will be intrigued to know that just off the southeast edge of the island can be found the French colony of St. Pierre et Miquelon, with a population of about 6000 French citizens. Yes, this is a diverse land. Definitely worth a visit, and quite possibly a move. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622514465272-1NNAYVWISQ8V8KVI75N1/Bellislandnfld.jpg Newfoundland and Labrador - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.movingtothemaritimes.com/pei daily 0.75 2021-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625684998491-EPXI3VAO5NIQDB69TCX1/DID+YOU+KNOW+graphic+shutterstock_1831882150+%5BConverted%5D.png Prince Edward Island - PEI is Canada's smallest and least populous province, home to 160,000 people.

This historic town was designated a UNESCO World heritage site since 1995. Nestled on the scenic shores of Nova Scotia, it’s famous for its seaside charm and inviting sights and sounds. Colourful historic homes are a joy to take in as you walk the town, perhaps in search of a bite to eat and place to perch and bask in the relaxed vibe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622253349719-Y0KM7KOG1OXLVSCIOKHN/OvensNaturalPark.jpg Road Trip - The South Shore - Attractions Not far from Lunenburg, the geological wonders of Ovens Natural Park beckon, with spectacular cliff-side trails from which to view the sea caves — the famous “ovens” that give the park its name. Afterwards, kick back at Rissers Beach Provincial Park and settle yourself on a blanket with a good book… or take a long walk and enjoy the waves and the views that go on for days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622253289163-0D826XHP0ABHEN63X4XI/livia-widjaja-VuO467wMZQI-unsplash.jpg Road Trip - The South Shore - Shops For retail therapy and local souvenirs, delightful shops abound.

Do take the time to linger and chat with the people behind these wonderful institutions. Gathering the stories behind the art always makes a purchase more precious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622049747852-LK6T3IZIMUBTRWMSVTHA/Road+Trip+Ivy+House+Pic+-+Terri-Lynn+Warren+Photography+-+The+Ivy+House+Lunenburg+Halifax+Business+Branding+Photography-4789.jpeg Road Trip - The South Shore - Where to Stay Check out this beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Lunenburg. The Ivy House. established in 2019, was “born out of a passion for home design, renovation and decor as well as a love of Lunenburg and Nova Scotia’s South Shore,” writes owner Tara MacDonald on the website. Noting that the inn is often referred to often as ‘paradise,’ Tara is thrilled to call this special place home — and "looks forward to showcasing its uniqueness to guests of the Ivy House.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622253216393-VOY9GG0NTFS7L78F926M/IMG_9500.jpg Road Trip - The South Shore - How to Get There Just an hour’s drive from Halifax, you’ll find a choice of two exits for Lunenburg (11 and 12). But we have a tip: take exit 10 and drive through the famous and beautiful Mahone Bay. This tranquil town, founded in 1754, is home of The Three Churches — literally, three historic churches, their steeples punctuating the shore of the scenic harbour. You’ll want to visit delicious little local restaurants like Oh My Cod, right in the centre of town, and Rebecca’s, with its panoramic view of the harbour and those famous steeples. When you arrive in Lunenburg, you’ll find a town perfect for leisurely walks and explorations. Visit the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic with the famous Bluenose II, and don’t miss the St. John's Anglican Church, the second-oldest remaining Protestant church in present day Canada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1622253249157-FK1WKN3O9MTXF6F6JPC6/andy-wang-Pf-bZQpCaMI-unsplash.jpg Road Trip - The South Shore - Food and Drink For some delicious snacking, try The South Shore Fish Shack, an inviting and casual spot where you can enjoy a relaxing lunch while overlooking Lunenburg Harbour. This is where you’ll find the best fish and chips on the east coast, in our opinion! (And we know these things.) The Salt Shaker Deli & Inn is another inviting venue, with comfy indoor seating. The Savvy Sailor Cafe has wonderful breakfast and lunch, and Grand Banker Bar & Grill is always a sure bet. Grab a pint at The Knot Pub or visit Ironworks Distillery for something a little stronger, with expert cocktails and spirits delivered out of an old blacksmith shop. https://www.movingtothemaritimes.com/resources daily 0.75 2023-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/95414520-5efe-4f21-b5d8-e4d94e7477e6/Screen+Shot+2023-11-28+at+1.27.43+PM.png Resources - Make it stand out Halifax Housing Market Outlook (2024) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625685678034-L9C7P7E08YTZSBNATSVM/DID+YOU+KNOW+graphic+shutterstock_1831882150+%5BConverted%5D.png Resources - Nova Scotia has more than 7,400 kilometres of coastline — and it’s one of the most varied in terms of geological features, with everything from rugged shoals and steep cliffs to sandy beaches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1625769625373-G7ZRXUEMHM28GOIEGB7U/shutterstock_1234021174+%5BConverted%5D.png Resources - There are 10 universities in Nova Scotia.

Being minutes from Spring Garden Road allows the area to be close to all major bus routes, stores and a variety of restaurants while being a stone's throw away from Point Pleasant Park gives the opportunity to still be one with nature and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Halifax Public Gardens are one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian garden in North America. They were founded by the Nova Scotia Horticultural Society in 1836 and were recognized as a National Historic Site in 1984. The Halifax Public Gardens is also part of Canada’s Garden Route. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1626014539018-TFLOEEN3WAKHER61Q7IF/Screen+Shot+2021-07-11+at+10.11.10+AM.png Featured HRM Neighbourhoods - From nightlife to shopping and culture, the South End is bustling. The South End offers an outstanding amount of locally owned businesses along the famous Spring Garden Road. A popular gathering spot is the Halifax Central Library, which opened in 2014 and features a café and auditorium. The library’s glass and cantilever design won the Lieutenant Governor’s Design Award in Architecture for 2014 and a Governor General’s Medal in Architecture in 2016. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1626011645349-73BYL7H14D3MMTX4DYQX/Screen+Shot+2021-07-09+at+7.12.03+PM.png Featured HRM Neighbourhoods - The South End is known for its detached single-family houses in a variety of styles. The majority of homes are 30 to 50 years old but some properties date to the mid 1920’s. By taking a look at the property values in the neighbourhood, there will be little question as to the overwhelming demand to be in one of the many unique neighbourhoods that comprise the South End. Increasingly, the area is seeing more density and variety in terms of living options, with everything from townhouses and condos to large homes, the South End has everyone’s needs covered. A host of rental options and the proximity to many schools, such as Dalhousie, Kings College and Saint Mary’s, allows the South End to house many students, adding to the life and energy of the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1626024474128-SNDYRUY9P3NS3WBOVY5Y/Screen+Shot+2021-07-09+at+6.58.18+PM.png Featured HRM Neighbourhoods - A perfect mix Quoted from the North End Business Association, “The palette of saltbox houses, urban and community gardens, independent businesses and eclectic arts scene has become home to a wonderfully cosmopolitan mix of people, giving the area a special vibrance and character”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1626026099734-Z45P8UZQ5NV3EHNM0T9Q/Screen+Shot+2021-07-11+at+1.35.45+PM.png Featured HRM Neighbourhoods - A historic focus Not only is the North End popular today, but the area is also home to a lot of Halifax's history. The waterfront portion of the North End is home to Africville, a small community that was deemed safe for African American settlers running from enslavement. The history of this neighbourhood does not end there. In December 1917, the North End and other parts of Halifax were struck with disaster following what is now commonly referred to as the Halifax Explosion. The explosion, caused by two war cargo ships colliding, caused nearly all structures within an 800-metre radius to be obliterated. This caused the loss of life, homes, businesses and buildings for many in the area. Today, the North End is filled with memorial sites, such as the Halifax Explosion Memorial Bell Tower, as well as the Hydrostone, which was one of the only buildings to remain standing after the disaster. The Hydrostone is now home to many local businesses and is a beautiful historic property known for its strength. The North End boosts liveliness while maintaining its historic roots and is the perfect example of resilience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/1626024597174-9JYGSTM3X5GR9SEKBF38/1-56.jpg Featured HRM Neighbourhoods - Make the North End your home It is no wonder 23,897 Nova Scotians call the North End their home.

The origins of the term are sketchy. Some say it was due to the blue dye on fishermen’s mittens, which invariably ended up on their noses from rubbing away sniffles on the open sea. https://www.movingtothemaritimes.com/road-trip-cape-breton daily 0.75 2022-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/e68e5cd1-5da3-4483-b6fc-b9aaeaaaefe9/IMG_9462.jpg Road Trip - Cape Breton - Ingonish If you’re heading on to Ingonish — and why wouldn’t you? — perhaps for golf at the famed Cape Breton Highland Links, locals will tell you not to miss a stop for a short rest and refuel at Wreck Cove General Store. Bring your appetite for fresh lobster sandwiches. (Insider tip from MTTM’s Andy Sawler: “As a native Nova Scotian I must say that they are perhaps the tastiest I’ve experienced.”) For bonus points, pack a few extras in your cooler for the beach or golf course later in the day. Charming accommodations abound in Ingonish: you might try Lantern Hill & Hollow or Ingonish Chalets depending on your crew. Add Salty Rose’s & the Periwinkle Café to your must-visit list — staying with the lobster theme, their breakfast lobster sandwiches are pure perfection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/f7dd1f98-8bc0-4723-a138-01ad246102dc/IMG_2926.jpg Road Trip - Cape Breton - Golf Cabot Cape Breton has three of Canada’s top-rated courses, with Cabot Links near Inverness becoming a real gem for its top-notch accommodations and food and dining options. It ranks 35 on Golf Digest’s list of the World’s 100 Greatest Courses. This year its sister course, Cabot Cliffs, was ranked top modern international course by Golf Week magazine. Both courses boast stunning ocean-side views unlike anything in the world. As mentioned above, Cape Breton Highland Links is also not to be missed. It was constructed under the guidance of world-renowned designer Stanley Thompson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/b64a0d23-51f2-4789-866a-b0cc33c5d4d8/IMG_2896.jpg Road Trip - Cape Breton - Make it stand out Cabot Links Resort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/ae1dd9bd-a5d8-410c-9895-4ad1bdd1461e/ceilidh.jpg Road Trip - Cape Breton - Get ready for your first ceilidh… Pronounced “kay-lee” — this is a famous kitchen party featuring Celtic music, lots of sing-a-longs and even more dancing. Keep an eye out for signs and posters or… ask the locals! Often there are square dance workshops open to everyone. Fun fact: It’s purported that Cape Breton has the most fiddlers per capita than any other global destination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/9805ed0f-0bb2-4058-9b49-cbe8d0db5860/Capebreton-01.jpg Road Trip - Cape Breton - Baddeck The drive typically involves a first stop in Baddeck located in the heart of Cape Breton Island — for a quick overnighter and a few stops to peruse some local offerings. The Highwheeler Cafe is a great stop for a breakfast feast on their summery patio — with lots of fresh pastries (the blueberry raspberry scones are a must) and strong coffee. That’ll start your day right. New to the scene is the lively Freight Shed, a popular and fun spot… and for good reason. The seafood is a step above with so many great items that make choosing tough. But you can’t go wrong, so don’t worry too much about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/e3fe8345-b179-4b5f-812a-1f5f064d771a/IMG_4342.jpeg Road Trip - Cape Breton - Make it stand out Ingonish Beach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e1f8a5d53646382981109/a2a49172-a2ef-4c6e-a3b4-91a77566147b/red%2Bshoe%2Bbanner.jpg Road Trip - Cape Breton - Pubs and good eats Great comfort and seafood abound, as well as fine dining and everything in between. You may have guessed that pubs abound on Cape Breton, and one of the best of the best is The Red Shoe in the hamlet of Mabou. It’s owned by the musical group the Rankin Sisters — Heather, Cookie and Raylene — along with their eldest sister Genevieve Fakoory. Do book ahead as many acts will sell out way ahead of time! And don’t miss their famous Mabou Seafood Chowder. Another favorite of ours is the Woodroad Restaurant just 15minutes north of Inverness on the west coast of the island. A gem for sure! Just about every town, hamlet and village on the loop will have some sort of incredible pub or eatery, so don’t be shy about exploring. (You can’t find out everything on the Internet, right?)

Even on a “busy” summer weekend there is room to roam. It’s a quiet and peaceful place with nature taking centre stage — be sure to visit Ingonish Beach and take in its dark starry skies, minimal crowds and gorgeous views. The northern part of the trail — about one-third of the entire circuit — cuts through Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Need we point out that it features stunning vistas and ocean views? https://www.movingtothemaritimes.com/idx daily 0.75 2023-07-19 https://www.movingtothemaritimes.com/listing daily 0.75 2023-07-20
