IF YOU GO

WHEN TO GO

May to October. Fall is one of the most beautiful times to go to the island as the foliage offers a spectacular reminder of Mother Nature’s knack for exterior design.

WHAT TO DO & SEE

Play a round of golf at Highland Links, hike the Skyline Trail, explore the Cabot Trail’s 26 hiking trails, do some whale watching, meet the locals at one of the area’s famous lobster or crab suppers, sink into the region’s historic roots at the Fortress of Louisburg, a reconstructed French settlement that dates back to 1713.

DON’T MISS

The Celtic Colours International Festival, a cultural celebration of all things Celtic (Oct. 6-14).
