“Been fishing over 30 years and this is the first Right Whale I”ve seen,” said Captain Cyril Fraser
of Oshan Whale Watch, which is based in the village of Bay St. Lawrence, Cape Breton. A fifth generation fisherman, Cyril mostly sees Pilot and Minke whales and dolphins.
“The Right Whales are around 50 tons, compared to the Minkes and Pilots which are more like 5 tons.”
One of our guests from Ontario, Tullio d’Angelo, provided us with a the snapshot of the Right Whale taken off while with Captain Cyril.

Le Cap Breton et le Cabot Trail ont toujours attiré des visiteurs atypiques, à la recherche d’expériences hors des sentiers battus. Qu’en est-il de Cabot Shores ? Et bien nous sortons un peu de l’ordinaire nous aussi. Vous choisiriez l’aventure au dépens du confort et du luxe ? L’ascension d’hasardeuses de chutes d’eau plutôt qu’une chaise longue au bord […]
Cabot Shores is known as one of the first and only Yurt camping areas on Cape Breton Island.
A few years ago, the CBC sent a reporter to interview Dr. Paul on the Yurt adventures here. And, coincidentally,
two guests were celebrating their 10th anniversary, in the Yurt.
Most recently, Readers Digest Canada did an article on Your Guide to Summer Camping, with mention of Cabot Shores
by journalist Katherine Laidlaw as “secluded and swanky.” And there is a relatively new website which features worldwide accommodations in the category of “Glamping” or Glamorous Camping. The site is called Glamping Hub and has a premier […]
When we ask guests what they really like to do at Cabot Shores, we get some surprising
answers…
You’d think it would be walking into the Great Room of Whiff’s Lodge or looking at the ocean from any
of the 4 chalets…and these are often mentioned…
…but what a lot of guests says is: “it’s the Eagle Feather Ferry” .
Here it is viewed from the air
Seen from the air, the Eagle Feather crosses Church Pond to the Beach, just about 10 minute walk
from Whiff’s Lodge through the orchard to the edge of the Pnd.
Whether a 91 year old woman
We awoke to fantastically blue skies on Monday morning, perfect conditions for a hike up the river!
We rounded up the gang, an international selection of woofers from Switzerland, China and UK and some guests, including journalist David Holt and Laughter Yoga teacher Linda LeClerc.
We were of course joined by lively Cosmo who bounded ahead in the Spring sunshine!
We were remarking the trail to the waterfall with orange tape. The path had become somewhat overgrown, so we shifted a few trees and branches as we went and admired the beautiful views.
In Cape Breton, music is our culture, and culture is our music. At Cabot Shores, you’ll be surrounded by both. For instance, every Tuesday and Friday evenings at 7:30pm, you can join in a Ceilidh at St. Ann’s United Church (just minutes away) hosted by the fantastic fiddler, David Paprizian. You can also see him playing in the local group, Rocky Shores.
Cabot Shores has become a hub for music along the Cabot Trail, with notable musicians like Buddy MacDonald and Jennifer Roland and of course, Rocky Shores, taking the stage. Young and talented newcomers like Rosie Mackenzie and Johnny […]
