About Baddeck:
Baddeck Hotels - getting to and from and around once there
Baddeck is a pleasant little town on the shores of Bras d’Or Lake in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. It’s a popular spot for boating in the summer and its central location makes it convenient as a base for exploring the island.
Baddeck is on the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 105) about halfway between the causeway to the mainland and Sydney. It is about a five hour drive from Halifax.
Baddeck is considered to be the beginning and end of the world famous “CABOT TRAIL” and is situated in the heart of Cape Breton Island. Stretching along the shores of the beautiful Bras d’Or Lakes, it is a village in full bloom from spring to autumn with a kaleidoscope of colours displayed in baskets, boxes and gardens along its downtown shopping core.
In 2008, Baddeck received Five Blooms, the highest award in the National Community in Blooms program – “People, plants and pride …growing together.
Alexander Graham Bell, compelled by the beauty of Baddeck, chose this area as his summer residence. Today, visitors celebrate Bell’s life’s work through the exhibitions and interactive demonstrations at the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site.
Baddeck is a bustling resort community boasting over 600 rooms, yet it retains the essence of a quaint village. We have an assortment of accommodations to suit any taste and budget ranging from 5 star suites, to campgrounds nestled in the spruce, along side rivers, lakes or the ocean.
