St. Andrew’s claims it has changed very little over the past century, and that is the way they want it. Carefully preserved homes, historic sites and stunning scenery have attracted guests for centuries. Offering fantastic dining options, quaint boutiques and plenty of whale watching opportunities you too will soon realize why St. Andrew’s is such a wonderful place to explore.
One of the key reasons St. Andrew’s attracts so many visitors is because of the Passamaquoddy Bay tides. Dropping over 25 feet every six hours, it is quite a site to see and definitely worth your time. Even though it is an absolute blast to walk along the ocean floor and see all the tiny creatures left behind once the water recedes, you will definitely want to take advantage of the whale watching tours. Get up close and personal with these massive mammals and be amazed at how graceful they truly are.
Rather drive along the ocean floor? If you do, make your way to Ministers Island where you can explore the mansion of railway tycoon William Van Horne. You will need to stay with the guided tour but will love exploring this impressive home. Another fantastic St. Andrew’s site is Kingsbrae Garden. Whether you have a green thumb or not, this ever expanding garden is filled with unique flowers, beautiful walking paths and even has its own gardening center. With the abundance of natural beauty perhaps it should come as no surprise then that St. Andrew’s has many local artists who showcase this nature through their many talents. Explore the local art galleries and perhaps you will find the perfect item to help you remember St. Andrew’s by.

St. Andrew’s offers many wonderful places to rest your head but two worth mentioning are the Algonquin and the Kingsbrae Arms Hotel. The Algonquin is a wonderful hotel filled with great activities for their guests to enjoy. Play a round of golf on a championship golf course or enjoy a cookout on the beach. You could also relax at the world-class spa. The Kingsbrae Arms is a bit steep for most wallets but if you can afford it, it is a definite must. Oriental carpets, scrumptious meals fireplaces and whirlpools are only a few of the luxuries you can enjoy. Although leaving these fine establishments might prove to be difficult, get out and explore the wonderful sites and activities St. Andrew’s has for you to experience.
