Baddeck
Tiny village on the shore of Bras d'Or Lake in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Baddeck holds the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site alongside a harbour, several historic churches, and a café and restaurant scene that is well stocked for its size. First settled by Mi'kmaq people and later by United Empire Loyalists and Scottish Gaels, it sits centrally on the island, making it a practical base for exploring Cape Breton while offering its own waterfront and boating in summer.
