East Bay

The landscape around East Bay is low and wooded beside the tidal waters of Bras d’Or Lake, which have shaped both the community’s shoreline settlement and local economy. This broad, brackish inland water system is connected to the Atlantic Ocean through narrow channels and forms a defining part of Cape Breton Island’s geography. Its bays, islands and forested shores give the area a distinctly maritime character. The wider island is home to Mi’kmaq communities and is closely associated with Gaelic, Acadian and fiddle-music traditions.
