Final Day: April 25

As we head into the final weekend, we want to take a moment to say thank you - genuinely.

To our entire Smokey team, and to everyone who supported us along the way. To those who showed up, kept coming back, and to those who’ve been with us for years. And to so many new faces this season who quickly became part of our Smokey family. 

This is the final weekend at Cape Smokey… and honestly, what a season it’s been. An exceptionally snowy year, and a season that just didn't want to let go

One of the most important recent developments for EV travel in Atlantic Canada is the installation of high-power charging stations at Cape Smokey. Located near Ingonish along the Cabot Trail, these chargers support electric vehicle travel throughout Cape Breton.

This guide outlines key details about the Cape Smokey EV charging stations, including charging speed, infrastructure, and their role in supporting travel and tourism in the region.

Cape Breton—Where Your Car Needs a Beach Kit

History Comes Alive on Cape Breton Island

Perched on the edge of Cape Breton’s Atlantic coast, the Fortress of Louisbourg is one of the most immersive and visually striking historic sites in North America. This full-scale reconstruction of an eighteenth-century French fortified town invites you to step directly into the past, where soldiers marched, cannons roared, and coastal life unfolded against a backdrop of trade, conflict, and resilience.

A Peaceful Stop Along One of Canada’s Most Scenic Coastal Drives

Neil’s Harbour is a small fishing community on the northeastern coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Tucked along the famed Cabot Trail, this quiet village moves to the rhythm of the sea. Salty air drifts through winding streets, and those who pause here find more than a postcard view — they discover an authentic maritime way of life.

Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia is more than just a picturesque fishing village; it’s a quintessential East Coast experience. Famous for its rugged coastal beauty, this small community is home to one of Canada's most iconic and photographed landmarks: the Peggy's Point Lighthouse. If you're planning a trip to the Maritimes, exploring Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia is an absolute must to soak in its maritime charm and stunning scenery.

Dear Diary: The Great Atlantic Canadian Museum Drag - A Kid’s Tale

Day 1: Nova Scotia - The Land of Endless Museums

Dear Diary,

So, guess what? The parental units have officially lost it. They’ve dragged us on this “epic” road trip across Atlantic Canada, and—get this—they think visiting a bunch of museums is going to be fun. Seriously? Museums? Like, who even wants to look at old stuff when there’s TikTok to scroll through? But here I am, stuck in the back seat, while Dad waxes poetic about “culture” and “learning experiences.” Ugh.
