You might choose to spend the day combing a secluded beach, go on a geocaching hunt at the fortress, or go scuba diving among shipwrecks.
As the sun goes down, take in live entertainment at the Louisbourg Playhouse or a serene sunset. After all that fresh sea air, you will sleep soundly here on Cape Breton’s east coast and awake to another day of possibility. One of the most famous landmarks in the city is the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. A visit here is like taking a step back in history to a time when the French and English crowns fought for control of the New World, and all of Nova Scotia was a battleground. The Fortress is the largest historical reconstruction in North America and offers an incredible window to all aspects of life as lived by some of our first European settlers.
