The Trail to Pollett’s Cove is a remote hiking corridor on Cape Breton Island, beginning near Pleasant Bay and winding approximately 8 km one-way toward the coast of the Polletts Cove valley. The path moves through forest, rises over ridgelines, and descends to the ocean, requiring good fitness and navigation as signage is minimal. The terrain varies from gentle slopes to steeper sections, with exposed bedrock and roots underfoot, so it’s suited for experienced hikers rather than casual walkers.
