We waited three days for the right weather before setting off on this 8+ hour 200 mile marathon! Best driven counter clockwise so you are on the outside coastal side of the road the whole way! The morning sun on the east side and the afternoon sun on the west side... Perfect! We started early as it will always take longer than you think! Also choosing a lunch stop with care since good ones are few and far - Le Gabriel in Cheticamp with its Acadien French influence was really worth a stop. We diverted for a couple hours to get in a great coastal hike on Middle Head in Ingonish. A great day out and one of the classic drives of the world!
