If you choose to start your Cabot Trail Journey near The Red Barn just past Baddeck, early in your journey around, you'll arrive at Margaree Harbour. While many people just drive on through and keep driving towards Cheticamp, others stop for a while and take in the many things that make this area of the island one of my favourites. The scenic views are just the beginning!
The beach on the other side of the breakwater is sandy and has very warm water for swimming. It's also one of the best places on the island for enjoying spectacular sunsets.
If you continue for a little bit along the road to Chimney Corner and St. Rose, you'll find two of the island's best beaches only minutes apart; Whale Cove Beach and Chimney Corner Beach. If you keep going even further, you'll find the town of Inverness and its beautiful, long sandy beach. The whole coast is known for sunsets, warm waters and sandy beaches. This little extra drive from Margaree Harbour to Inverness only takes you about a half hour off track (longer if you grab something to eat, spend time at any of the beaches or golf at the world-class golf courses in Inverness) but it's worth it. You can always jump back onto the Cabot Trail where you made the turn off at Margaree Bridge.
