Englishtown Waterfront
A Cape Breton community on St. Ann's Bay — reached by a 24-hour cable ferry across a narrow channel near the Cabot Trail.
Overview
On St. Ann's Bay
Englishtown sits on St. Ann's Bay on Cape Breton's eastern shore, where the Englishtown Ferry — a cable ferry on Route 312 — crosses the 125-metre channel at the bay's mouth in just a few minutes, running 24 hours a day on demand.
It's a scenic shortcut between Baddeck/Sydney and the Cabot Trail, looking out over St. Ann's Bay and the highlands beyond.

Bay-and-highlands living
This is classic northern Cape Breton: sheltered bay water, dramatic highland backdrops, and easy access to the Cabot Trail and Bras d'Or.
Waterfront ranges from bayfront homes and cottages near the ferry to coastal properties along St. Ann's Bay, at attainable Cape Breton prices.
