ALBERTON & NORTHPORT
Continue your tour from Tignish & North Cape by following the North Cape Coastal Drive to Alberton & Northport and discover why early French explorer, Jacques Cartier referred to this area as "the fairest land 'tis possible to see!"

In Alberton the Museum and Genealogy Centre houses a display chronicling the Island's fox farming industry glory days in the early 1900s while historic murals adorn the town's streets. It is located on Hwy. 12 at 457 Church St. The building itself is a restored 1878 courthouse.

Stroll through the welcoming shops, chat with the locals at the cafe or relax beside the town pond, possibly even with a fishing pole in hand.

Continue along to The Northport Pier, a unique destination in the midst of a quaint fishing village. Enjoy outdoor concerts, a stroll on the boardwalk; and a panoramic view with great blue herons gracing the shoreline. The Pier Restaurant is serving up a relaxed dining experience offering a traditional sea faring menu with an amazing view of an active fishing port.

Strike up a conversation with a fisher returning to port with the catch of the day. Then get ready to join us for one of our many community events such as the Prince County Exhibition, Alberton Days, Canada Day celebrations or Northport Aquatic Days.
