Welcome to St. Peter's, the ‘Gateway to the Bras d'Or'
The village of St. Peter's in Cape Breton, Richmond County, Nova Scotia has a fascinating history dating to 1650 when it was settled by adventurer
Nicolas Denys. Today, the remains of forts which were the first line of defense and a source of supply for the Fortress Louisbourg are waiting to be explored in
Battery Provincial Park, were a series of walking trails takes you through the park and around the village.
St. Peter's is located on a narrow isthmus which separates the southern end of Bras d'Or Lake, known as St. Peters Inlet, to the north from St. Peters Bay on
the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The isthmus is crossed by the St. Peters Canal and is almost exclusively used by pleasure boats in recent decades.
St. Peter's is also located on Highway 4, the province's east-west trunk or secondary highway. An expressway, Highway 104, is scheduled to be extended from its
present terminus several kilometres west of St. Peter's to Sydney.
The famous St. Peter's Canal, a National Historic site which joins the Atlantic Ocean to the sparkling Bras D'Or Lake, winds it's way through Battery
Provincial Park, creating a popular spot for fishing, picnicking, swimming and site seeing. The Nicolas Denys Museum, adjacent to the canal, tells the story of
this famous explorer and fur trader. A full service marina on the Bras D'Or Lake side of the canal can accommodate fishing and pleasure boats of all kinds.
St. Peter's, the birth place of world famous marine photographer, Wallace R. MacAskill is a must see. MacAskill's 115 year old home displays over 100
hand tinted photographs and artifacts dating back to the early days of photography. MacAskill's famous Bluenose photo is still reproduced on the Canadian dime.
St. Peter's, a full-service community, bustles with activity all summer long, with the annual Nicolas Denys Days Festival taking place the first week of
August. As the commercial center of Richmond County, it offers accommodations, camping, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery store, gift and craft shops,
pharmacies, bank, instant teller, liquor store, service stations, museums and recreational facilities.
Nearest hospital is in Evanston. Championship 18 hole golf course at Dundee, only 30 minutes away.
Whether you're looking for fine dining, local entertainment, a cosy place to stay or just a place to relax and enjoy the day, St. Peter's offers it all with a
safe small town atmosphere.
