Sometimes, a vacation spot steeped in history provides just the right mix of stimulation and relaxation. St. Andrews By-the-Sea is such a place, a Canadian town that fairly bristles with the rich flavour of the past.

Loyalist settlers landed in St. Andrews in 1783 and, after a period of prosperity selling lumber and wooden ships to Great Britain, our little town became ‘the’ ultimate summer destination for societies elite.

And things are even better today! How long should you stay?  You be the judge…

No matter what your interests, you’ll find plenty to fill your days.  Whether looking for peaceful relaxation, or fun-packed days for the young and young at heart, time spent in St. Andrews will be memorable.

From lounging with a loved one by our heated pool, or frolicking in the Bay of Fundy at Katy’s Cove with the whole family…From enjoying a peaceful scenic woodland stroll or a guided historical walking tour of the many historical homes and businesses of our town…From dreamily sailing Passamaquoddy Bay aboard a two-masted Tall Ship to roaring across the bays and open water in search of whales and high-seas adventure, or leisurely browsing our many unique shops for a treasure all your own…the variety is endless, the perfect ingredients to make this your best vacation yet. Talk to our friendly and knowledgeable staff who will be happy to help you plan your days....you may just decide to stay forever!
