Mabou Harbour

Mabou Harbour is a small craft harbour situated on the Mabou River in the community of Mabou, on the west coast of Cape Breton Island, Inverness County, Nova Scotia. It is administered by the Small Craft Harbours Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

The facility includes a boat launching ramp.

In 2022, Fisheries and Oceans Canada completed an environmental evaluation for launching ramp improvements at the site, approving construction of a new cribwork structure within the footprint of an existing west breakwater to better support the ramp.

The harbour is also visible from the surrounding hillsides and serves as a focal point of the Mabou waterfront.
