Bathed in sun, fog and ocean swells of the Atlantic Ocean, off the northeastern tip of Cape Breton Island, Scatarie Island stretches more than 10 km from Western Point, 2km off the mainland, to Eastern Head. With a rugged, irregular shore, Scatarie Island is one of Nova Scotia's largest islands. Much of the interior supports a coastal spruce-fir forest, while the perimeter and a small island consists of exposed coastal bog and barren complexes, cliffs, headlands and beaches.
