The Fortress of Louisbourg is an iconic scene that takes you back into the 1700s where a french settlement acted as a major fishing and trade hub for Cape Breton. The settlement was eventually overtaken and destroyed in the 1760s.
The site has been reconstructed and is now a national park. This fortress is a must see if you want to experience Cape Breton to the highest degree. It makes for an excellent cultural experience on a sunny or rainy day.
Admire the natural beauty of the Atlantic Ocean and gaze upon the red-and-white beacon that watches over the bay. Lighthouse Point is the site of the first lighthouse in Canada, which was built in 1734. The lighthouse that looks out over the Louisbourg harbour these days is the fourth one built on the site and is nearly 100 years old.
Pause for a moment to smell the salty air, watch for fishing boats, and listen to the sound of waves crashing - or is that the thunder of cannons echoing from the past? Travel back to a time when Louisbourg was a bustling port and the lighthouse provided guidance for travelling vessels in the night.
Enjoy a gentle 2-kilometre walk along the Louisbourg Lighthouse Trail - a coastal looped trail with unsurpassed vistas and interpretive panels explaining the area's significance, including its flora and fauna. The lighthouse is located at the trailhead, and you can spot it from various lookoff points along the path.
