Hello and greetings from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia! We recently spent a week road-tripping the island and what an adventure that was! This was our fourth summer exploring Nova Scotia, and this time around we focused on southern Cape Breton, specifically the area between St. Peter’s and Port Hastings. Here is our Cape Breton Travel Guide covering some fascinating things to do in Nova Scotia, Canada.
I think this is a really interesting area to visit because it is very accessible. Port Hastings is the first town you hit if you’re crossing via the Canso Causeway (the only land access point to the island!), so it’s a logical starting point, and it makes a lot of sense for travellers who want to see a bit of Cape Breton without having to drive too far.
We spent our week in southern Cape Breton doing an iconic sail from lake to sea, feasting on seafood at every meal, tackling different hiking trails, and enjoying the warm hospitality the island is known for.

Thumbs up for CAPE BRETON's delicious seafood!!! 🦞😋👍
thank you very much🤛
So nice to see some of our favourite places here in Cape Breton and some off the beaten track spots too. Must do the St. Peter's Canal trip next summer. Glad you survived Fiona unscathed. Since you keep coming back to Nova Scotia — you should consider staying longer. I think your laidback vibe could easily become an East Coast Lifestyle!
Hug
Haha, I found a similar "poop fairy" sign in a small Chicago (IL, USA) park.
👍👏
Espectacular, los admiro, buen trabajo, gracias, Bucaramanga, Colombia..💞
Thanks for the latest video. My wife and I especially like the Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI videos. Our first big road trip after I retire is to spend a month in Maritimes next fall. We have gotten so many great ideas on areas to focus and places to eat/stay. We even booked the Airbnb converted church in Stewiake. Keep the video coming. I plan to go back through your videos before the trip and pull out the names of the wonderful places you have eaten. Stay safe.
Very nice video BTW. Having grown up in the Maritimes I can tell you that Clam chowder has clams & vegetables in it. What you were eating was Seafood chowder which is made of shellfish & other fish etc. Sacrilege to an East coaster Audrey!🤣
Beautiful food and people! Love this video. I live in North Sydney, Cape Breton. Never been to any of these restaurants yet, so enlightening. Maybe this summer a road trip will take place. Glad you missed the worse of Fiona. I watched your other video as well. Take care.
que bellos paisajes y sitios y la comida se veia deliciosa!
Food looked amazing 😋
Hello to you both –
I so love these adventures up in Canada 🇨🇦
HI Sam and Audrey, so nice to see you guys doing more video. Harriet and I never got to step foot in Cape Breton. We spent much of time in Halifax sailing with friends. Cape Breton is on our bucket list. You are always a wealth of information. That's what makes you the best at what you do. Sending you much love 😍😍😍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Thanks!
My wife and I spent a whole week touring Cape Breton, many happy memories. The sea food was excellent, wonderful experience, highly recommended.
Descubriendo con vosotros Canadá!!! La conozco mejor que Sevilla 😊😊😊. Impresionante belleza natural y arquitectónica. Eso sí la sopita de crema es lo peor del vídeo 😜. Un fuerte abrazo desde Sevilla.
When you talk dollars For food, are you referring to Canadian or American dollars?
Hot Hamburger is my all time favorite meal 🙂 I did a comparative study on a trip from Cobourg to Nipigon lol.
Thank you for this great video. We just start our emigration to canada from Germany and own a property at the atlantic-coast-near by Port Hawksbury🙂
All of the food looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Tell me the locals don't actually call it "Aisle" Madame instead of "Eel" Madame…… Yeah, closer to me, Framboise is called Fram-boys.
Would love to visit anywhere in Nova Scotia. Looks like such a beautiful and peaceful place. Other than seafood, what other food is a must-have?
I live in Canada but have never been to this part of Canada so thanks for the tour. The food/seafood looked so good. Thanks and take care.
I think that you guys should take a wine course when you're in Argentina, so you can learn more about pairing wine and food. Pairing the right wine with your food completely elevates the meal and makes it a better experience. Instead of red wine with Sam's fish and chips a sparkling wine would've knocked it out of the park. With that being said, you like what you like, so if you like red wine, then go with the red wine. (or beer… fried food and beer is always a good idea!)
So glad you're both back in Canada 🍁, love those adventures you go on, that seafood looked amazing you had.
Awesome video and the food looked incredible! Sam and his chips 🤤 thank you as always 😍
Nice to see Nova Scotia off peak season. Thanks.
Love cape breton
Such a good video!
@5:30 Schwimp & clamps?
Love your videos, so inspiring 🤗
I enjoy watching your vids as I always love exploring / finding out about different places 🙂
I have a friend who lives in Nova Scotia. I have a holiday/vacation house in Isle of Skye, Scotland.
So, with having a friend who lives in Nova Scotia is very interesting as I like seeing and hearing what's in her hometown.
Isle of Skye is like an art canvas lol. Whatever the weather it's so pretty to take photos and videos.
I strongly suggest heading to Isle of Skye if you guys haven't been before because it is nice, lots to do and of course, lots of cafes lol.
