Lovely place. Scenery great. Food at Main Street Restaurant was very good, deserts were extremely good but expensive. Cape Smokey Gondola was very interesting with great view from the top. The Gondola was a little expensive for someone who only went up and down after seeing the view. There were some trails but didn't seem to be well marked.

I enjoyed the trails in Ingonish including Middle Head trail with magnificent views and Freshwater Lake Trail which passed through the woods around the lake, by the beach and pickleball courts. I spotted a bald eagle in a tree on this walk and my day was complete!

Great hiking. Good dinner across from the skyline and wonderful brunch at highlands golf course. Interesting rock beach - love the sound of the waves in the rocks. Swam at north beach which was lovely!

Ingonish is a wonderful piece of heaven in Nova Scotia. The views are beautiful-breath taking! There are a myriad of hiking trails with various levels of difficulty and beautiful views. The Skyline Trail is not to be missed! There are several beaches and fresh water lakes. Opportunities to rent kayaks, sups, etc. Whale watching & other organized tours. There are helicopter tours to view the area and a wonderful gondala taking you to the top of Cape Smokey with a nice trail leading to a lake & various viewing platforms. The best sunsets in Nova Scotia! If shopping is your thing there are numerous local boutiques with hand crafts such as glass blowing, award winning handmade quilts, wood working, pottery, etc. There are some great restos for fine dining, or causual for a drink or burgers or a lobster roll. Highland Links Golf Course is excellent, rated 1 of the best in Canada. You may find yourself teeing off next to a moose. Ingonish is full of natural wonders and things to do for all ages. A must see destination.

Love Ingonish, the weather was perfect for our trip, the beaches are beautiful, and the scenery is absolutely gorgeous. We had dinner at the Seagull restaurant, their food is just amazing, there were four of us and we each ordered a different meal from the menu, all four meals were perfect, huge plates of delicious food. We went at the end of July and stayed at the Sea breeze cabins which we loved. My morning view, sitting on the deck looking out towards the ocean was just what I needed even the local wildlife came to visit( a rabbit, a chipmunk and the tweeting of the birds) just made everything so much more relaxing. I’m not much of a swimmer but there is a spot just up from the cabins near the wharf that you can swim, it’s quiet and the sand and water are beautiful ( we love that spot). We were in the middle of a heat wave so the beach was the perfect spot to melt away.

Franey Trail is nearby and it is a challenging 3 hour loop. Enjoyed it a lot. Bring a walking stick. Mosquitoes increased as the day progressed. Our evening in June was uncomfortable. Not many restaurants. We wound up at Brookside takeout stand with awesome lobster rolls.
