Rugged Coastal Hiking Gem

Get ready for an adventure at Gooseberry Cove, a true hidden gem along Cape Breton's rugged coast. This trail is one of those spots locals love to share, offering absolutely stunning cliffside views of the Atlantic. The path, a 7.7 km return journey, winds through lush greenery, springy bogs, and over a rocky coastline dotted with tidal pools, so wearing good hiking shoes is a smart move. The narrow road to the trailhead can be a bit rough, so you might prefer to park on the main road and enjoy a short walk in to start your coastal exploration.
