The island as a whole is ranked second in the world in a National Geographic study of ecotourism, so the best activities to do are related to that. You can visit the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, with many hiking trails and incredible scenery. The Fortress of Louisbourg is also a good place to go, it is a reconstruction of the 18th century fortified French town. And something that you don´t want to miss is Joe's Scarecrows at Cheticamp, it is a pretty scary gallery of scarecrows with halloween masks.
