About Black Brook Beach

Black Brook Beach is a picturesque cove beach in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, framed by forested headlands and a tumbling waterfall. The beach offers a classic Cape Breton experience — dramatic cliffs, crashing surf, and mountain views. A short hiking trail leads to a viewpoint overlooking the beach, and the nearby Jack Pine Trail is famous for its windswept coastal forest.
