Dating in Sydney and Cape Breton
In shortCape Breton Island has Sydney as its main centre, with small communities spread along the coast and the highlands. People here are known for music, kitchen parties and looking out for each other. Distances are long, so many couples plan days out around a drive.
A first date idea
The Skyline Trail on the Cabot Trail
The Cabot Trail runs 311 km, with 110 km through Cape Breton Highlands National Park between Chéticamp and Ingonish. The Skyline Trail starts at French Mountain and is an easy 3.3 km each way to a headland with wide ocean views, about two hours there and back. The Chéticamp Visitor Centre opens mid-May to mid-October, and park entry fees apply.
