A coastal drive regularly ranked among the most scenic on the continent, Gaelic music still played the way it was brought over generations ago, and whales working the coastline close enough to watch from the cliffs.
The best time to visit Cape Breton Island is Jun–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F).
