As the only hospitality operator in Louisbourg who was born and raised here, I may also be dating myself as the town’s longest-standing operator in this large 120 some year-old house that has been in my family since the 1960's I warmly invite you to visit our remarkable historic town—one of the oldest fishing locations in eastern Canada. Louisbourg is home to the world renown Fortress of Louisbourg, is a vibrant fishing community and offers some of the most rugged and picturesque coastline you’ll ever experience. I hope to welcome you soon to the Louisbourg Harbour Inn.
I am very happy to host visitors and show off what I think is the most impressive harbour and coastline in this province. Louisbourg is essentially a simple fishing town with Canada's most prestigious National Historic Site and Atlantic Canada's most rugged and storied coast. The air is fresh off the sea and the people are wonderfully friendly. Connecting travellers with all this is my work as well as my hobby and pleasure...honestly.
The area is an authentic working Nova Scotia fishing harbour as compared to a touristy version of one. During the summer months the lobster and crab fisheries are operational. The "neighbourhood" is a sheltered harbour with a 300-year old history of fishing. Our "front yard" is the Atlantic Ocean and the Louisbourg National Historic site including the Fortress of Louisbourg. We have, arguably, the most attractive lighthouse in Atlantic Canada on the site of the first light in Canada which was the second in all of North America (1734). It is a 2 mile walk from the Inn. Next door is the Louisbourg Playhouse where at 8p.m. nightly some of the best folk music on Cape Breton Island is performed. From the Inn you can walk to the fishing wharves and watch the catches being off-loaded, talk to fishermen about their activity or just take a couple of photo ops!
