Sydney is the largest city on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Strictly speaking, Sydney only encompasses the urban area to the right of the western branch of Sydney Harbour. However, colloquially, the immediately neighboring communities are often included, including Coxheath, Grand Lake Road, Membertou, Mira Road, North Sydney, Sydney Forks, Sydney Mines, Sydney River, and Westmount. Sydney has a small number of attractions of its own, but is primarily of interest to visitors continuing on to Newfoundland. The ferry departs from North Sydney.
