Meat Cove
A remote fishing village at the northernmost tip of Nova Scotia, where you can camp on grassy cliffs overlooking the sea. It is often called the end of the world.
Meat Cove sits at the end of the northern spur of the Cabot Trail. The last 8 km is a gravel road, and cliffs, bays and green grassy slopes make up a wild coastal landscape. You can spend the night at the campground on the cliff edge, eat lobster rolls at a small restaurant, or rent a kayak and paddle out to sea. You can also hike up nearby hills to watch for whales. It is about 2.5 hours' drive from Baddeck one way, so it suits anyone with time to spare for a detour.
