Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Canso Islands National Historic Site adventure.
Discover the rugged beauty of Canso Islands National Historic Site.
Travel to a time when remote fishing ports dotted the Atlantic coast and England and France vied for control of North America. Home to the remains of an 18th century fishing settlement and the ruins of a battle-ravaged earthen fort, Canso Islands National Historic Site welcomes curious explorers upon its windswept shores to journey through the history that forged a nation.
The ideal time to visit Canso Islands National Historic Site is during the summer months, from July 1 to September 4, when the site is open daily from 10am to 1pm & 2pm to 6pm. Outside these times, the harsh Atlantic weather can make the experience less enjoyable.
