One gorgeous lookout point just steps from the Cabot trail is Lakies Head. It is a great spot to stop and enjoy the scenery or to take a short walk along the rugged coastline. This sport provides a nice view to the south, and you can see several coastline features from here, including Ingonish Island, Middle Head and Cape Smokey in the distance.
