Squeezing in those last little bits of summer at Baddeck waterfront! ☀️🌊

A big thank you to the Baddeck Lions Club for once again keeping the ferry running and offering swim lessons on Kidston Island. These programs are such a wonderful part of summer in our community, and we’re so grateful for all the time and effort that goes into making them happen. ❤️

And don’t forget — Kidston Island is still open! If you’re looking for a little more summer adventure, the island has a lovely walking trail to explore. Please use the trail at your own discretion and take care on the paths and around the island.

Looking for transportation to the island so you can explore on your own? Check out the Adventure Centre at Inverary Resort on Baddeck Bay for kayak and paddleboard rentals. 🛶🌊

Here’s to making the most of these final days of summer!

There’s a certain magic to Baddeck that’s hard to put into words — but from above, you can see it.

These aerial views, captured during annual FestiVille Baddeck, show the village in ALL its summer glory. While the festivities unfold along Chebucto Street, drawing people together in the heart of the village, it’s the waterfront that quietly anchors everything.

The Bras d’Or Lake is more than a beautiful backdrop here. It’s part of Baddeck’s identity — shaping its rhythm, its character, and that unmistakable coastal feeling.

From the colourful bustle of FestiVille to the calm sweep of the shoreline, this is Baddeck: a village where the street meets the sea, and where the waterfront will always feel like home. 🌊💙
