The fishing village of Cheticamp is located on the Cabot Trail at the western entrance to the spectacular Highlands National Park, and is the heart of Acadian culture on Cape Breton. Cheticamp Island, connected to the mainland by a causeway, offers both privacy and easy access to the many fine restaurants, shops, local music and whale watching tours of the town. Choose to hike the many trails in the Park or to explore the paths on the island. Walk to to the cliffs on the Gulf of St Lawrence, to the lighthouse, or to the long warm water sand beach. Watch whales feeding off of the point, row across the harbour to town for lunch, and come home to enjoy the view.
