Main-a-Dieu is a picturesque fishing village situated on the east coast of Cape Breton Island. Translated from the French meaning "Hand of God", there is also a belief that the name may have evolved from the Mi'kmaq "Mendoo" or "Mundoo" referring to the spirit of evil, possibly referring to the number of shipwrecks in the early years.
