Welcome to the community of Ingonish on the Cabot Trail...

The Ingonish area, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia is a destination for all seasons. Be inspired by the breathtaking coastal and mountain scenery whether bathed in sunshine or covered in snow. In the summer, spend days along the sandy shores of Ingonish Beach that offers both saltwater and freshwater swimming. Challenge yourself in the oceans waves in a kayak or unwind under a canopy of trees.

The area is known as a golfers paradise, as golfers from around the world flock to the famed Highlands Links, which is considered by many to be Canadas finest course. Others are lured by the abundant hiking trails that range from walks along coastal headlands to highland ascents. Hikers of all levels gather for the Hike the Highlands Festival www.hikethehighlandsfestival.com in September.

When the snow falls, Ingonish is transformed to a winter wonderland where enthusiasts can enjoy downhill skiing at Ski Cape Smokey or cross-country skiing through the Cape Breton Highlands National Park of Canada.
