Green Cove Trail – Cape Breton Highlands National Park

This short 0.2-km loop on a rocky headland offers views of the Atlantic coastline and a chance to spot whales or fishing boats. Look for twisted, salt-adapted plants like bayberry and krummholz trees. A park pass is required; it takes about 10 minutes to walk and is rated easy, though you should avoid rock edges during high winds.
