Meat Cove, Nova Scotia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meat Cove is a rural fishing community at the northern tip of Inverness County on Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island. Fisherman fish for lobster in March-April at 80 feet, 60 feet and 48 feet. At other times they fish for crab.

Meat Cove is accessed on an unpaved road off the Cabot Trail. The approach is from the highlands down a steep road to the sparslely settled town in the cove. The permanent population is less than 100 and it is dark in the winter months.

Meat Cove is the most northerly settlement in Nova Scotia and is located in the Sydney—Victoria federal electoral district.
