Polletts Cove
The view over Polletts Cove as you begin the descent down to the cove. On this beautiful September day, there was no one else here and it was like having a piece of paradise all to yourself. The tough, 15km round-trip trail to Polletts Cove runs over private land and the owner generously permits hikers to respectfully use the trail and experience this remarkable Cape Breton landscape.

Great spot and perfect place to stay for a short visit. The furnished appartment is so much more comfortable than a hotel room. Had a great nap on the full size couch after a long day at work

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.
