Summary[edit]

Description

Neil’s Harbour is located in Victoria County, in the northeast corner of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, alongside the Cabot Trail. The village is named after Neil McLennan. The first school in Neil’s Harbour was constructed in 1878. Artifacts in the area indicate that Neil’s Harbour may at one time have been inhabited by the French. The main industry in Neil’s Harbour is fishing, mostly for lobster and crab.

The first light was established here in 1899. In the summer months it is used as an ice cream store. It overlooks Neil's Harbour just outside the northeast corner of Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
