Meat Cove Mountain stands above the northern tip of Cape Breton and offers one of the most dramatic open viewpoints in the region. From the summit you get wide, sweeping views over the cliffs, highlands, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The upper slopes are exposed and conditions can change quickly, so the mountain is best visited in appropriate weather with proper footwear and trekking poles if you prefer extra stability on the uneven ground.
