We were hoping to pack some sandwiches from the grocery store before our hike along the Skyline trail, but there wasn't anyplace to do that. The beach is scenic but rocky. The Rusty Anchor was nice for dinner.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Wonderful dinner at Rusty Anchor! Great whale watching excursion!

3/5 - Okay

Most remote area on Cape Breton for overnight stays or restaurants. Very small. Just the nature of being so far north on the Cabot Trail.
