Close to the eastern entrance to the park, this beach features a cove that was cut off from the ocean centuries ago, offering a freshwater lake and ocean beach to swimmers.

An easy 8.5 km out-and-back hike along the river and into the forest, with some views of the park's golf course near the beginning. The trail gets less maintained further out, and passes the ruins of an old gold mine camp.
A quieter, somewhat sandier beach not far from Ingonish, but offering fewer amenities and services.
A short 2.3 km, 168 m climb to views of the rocky ocean coast and Broad Cove.
The park's most popular beach, featuring a small waterfall and brook.
A Scottish-style sheep crofters hut built in 1942. Most of the old growth forest in the park is protected and not accessible to visitors, but a short, easy trail here takes visitors through a small portion of the forest, with 350-year old sugar maple trees still standing.
The longest (12 km), and one of the most challenging trails in the park. A somewhat steep, sometimes muddy, 355 m slope takes hikers down to a small ocean cove that was home to a small Scottish fishing community. A few backcountry camping sites are located on the trail (permitted by advance registration), but well-prepared hikers can enjoy the hike in a single day, with time for a swim before the uphill walk back to the Cabot Trail.
