Ingonish – Nature’s Home
Ingonish is a 4 season destination located at the northeastern tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, on the world-famous Cabot Trail.
Home to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Highlands Links, Destination Cape Smokey, the Keltic Lodge, fresh seafood, beautiful beaches, amazing trails, and so much more.
From Ship to Shore
Dine on some of the world’s finest lobster and seafood – caught right here in Ingonish!
Served with a side of panoramic views that will leave your heart full.
What can we get you?
Destination Cape Smokey
Experience the beauty of Cape Smokey in all 4 seasons from Atlantic Canada’s first gondola!
Downhill skiing in winter, watercraft rentals in summer, and stunning 360° colours in fall.
This is a “must visit” year-round mountain playground for all.
Ocean Tides + Good Vibes
Choose between the saltwater waves of North Bay, Broad Cove and Black Brook beaches or enjoy a freshwater dip at Warren Lake.
Can’t decide between salt or freshwater?
Head on over to Ingonish Beach and Freshwater Lake and get the best of both worlds.
Warm Up to Winter
Ingonish is skiers and snowshoer’s winter wonderland.
After a long day enjoying the outdoors, head inside and cozy up in a cabin or treat yourself to a trip to the Keltic Lodge Spa.
You earned it.
Today is the last day of Winter Fest 2025! Sadly the shovel races at cape smokey have been postponed due to weather.
Hope to see you at the family skate this evening 💙⛸️ ... See MoreSee Less
