Ingonish Harbour, a tiny village with much to offer, is located on the south eastern cusp of the vast and beautiful Cape Breton Highlands National Park, right along the incredibly scenic Cabot Trail. Ingonish Harbour also belongs to the storied, Victoria County. The Cabot Trail extends along the outer edges of the highlands national park, hugging the west and east coasts. Ingonish Harbour is a productive fishing community. As well, Ingonish Harbour is a driving distance of 134 km (83.3 mi.) north of Sydney.

Ingonish Harbour is in prime Cape Breton Island territory, situated by the sea and the towering highlands, along one of the prettiest highways (Cabot Trail) in the World. Visitors can stay busy by taking a tour in the Atlantic to the friendly whales, or spend a day at the sandy Ingonish Beach, swimming and building sandcastles in the summer sun. In winter months, cross-country ski trails are an invigorating escape. Ingonish Harbour is also close to world-class, Oceanside golf courses, hiking trails, and kayaking and canoeing.

Ingonish Harbour accommodations include seafront cottages and bed and breakfasts.
