Marble Mountain Beach
A beach on the western shore of the Bras d'Or Lake built from crushed marble that washed into the water during quarrying operations that began in 1869. The marble gives the water its clear appearance and soft sand. You can swim, walk along the shoreline below the old quarry walls, or launch a boat from the community wharf.
