Cape Breton is the number one island in Canada.

The top ten list was released by Travel + Leisure.

Cape Breton was able to beat Prince Edward Island and Vancouver Island for the top spot.

Here's what Travel + Leisure had to say about our beautiful island.

Also voted one of the world's best islands by Travel + Leisure readers, this rugged Nova Scotia destination is beloved for its Indigenous culture, whale-watching, legendary lobster rolls, and the 185-mile Cabot Trail, which encircles the island.

But golf lovers will know the island for its high-profile courses.

One fan writes, "Cabot Cliffs, Cabot Links, & The Nest: The best courses in the world are here!"

Many enthusiasts choose to stay at one of the resort's 72 rooms or 19 villas, with modern, airy architecture that showcases the ocean and landscape.

Back in September 2021, Cape Breton Island was also listed in the company’s top islands in the world.

Our island was ranked number ten.
