About Cape Breton, NS

Cape Breton, reached from the mainland via Highway 105 and the Canso Causeway, is home base for exploring the island, with Highway 125 handling the short hops into Sydney and nearby towns like Glace Bay. Out-of-towners usually arrive via the long haul from Halifax on the Trans-Canada, or fly into YQY, just 13 km from downtown Sydney. The big draw is the Cabot Trail through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, a full-day scenic loop that pulls drivers from all over the country. Charging stations line Highway 105 and Sydney, though they get scarce further along the Trail. Fun fact: the Canso Causeway is often called the deepest causeway on earth, with its base sitting over 60 metres underwater.
