Port Hawkesbury Vacation Deals

From Port Hawkesbury, the major city of Cape Breton Island is approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) to the northeast.

Of course, limiting yourself to only one place, no matter how popular, will only ever provide you with a narrow glimpse into the broader textures and qualities of a region. So try to set aside some time to tour Nova Scotia's other natural and man-made attractions. Heatherton and Orangedale are just two of the many other places worth seeing while you're in Nova Scotia.

Approximately 45 miles (72 kilometers) to the northeast of Port Hawkesbury is Baddeck, an important regional city where you'll find Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, Bell Bay Golf Club and Gilbert H.
