St. Peters is a pretty little village at a point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Bras d'or Lakes. The town is home to little shops, restaurants, cafes and several museums, including the Nicholas Denys Museum and the Wallace MacAskill Museum. A campground is also located in the town and there are many walking and hiking trails. Nearby Dundee is home to a great golf course and there is even a Christmas Shop at the edge of town that is open eight months of the year. Actually it closes on Christmas Eve so shoppers have right up to the last minute to find that special item to put on the tree.
The main attraction in St. Peters is the canal that joins the ocean with Cape Breton's inland sea, The Bras d'Or Lakes. The National Historic Site and adjacent Battery Provincial Park are dedicated to the history and workings of the canal and within this park area you'll find picnic tables, trails and a swimming area.
