This town is one of the most charming in New Brunswick. Gardens are tended, people are friendly and the buildings/houses are well kept. From almost 10 historical Churches of different era and religion to cafes, museums and botanical gardens, etc; the town has it all. One can either camp at the camping ground situated close to downtown and by the sea, or stay at the turn of the century b&b.

| Favourite spots: |
|
One has to stay at least a full weekend to fully discover St Andrews by-the-sea. The first stop should be at the tourist information boot situated on Reed Ave. There you`ll find a detailed map that includes a regional overview, a National Historic Map and a Downtown map. All the downtown buildings have been identified by address, name and phone numbers. Although this pamplet is only 1 x 2 feet, it will be useful for your journey. And for the Golf fanatics, please note that a great Golf course is situated nearby.

| What's really great: |
|
I loved Kingsbrae Horticultural Garden. The garden has over 2000 different shrubs and trees and plants. A few hours should be planned for this activity as there is a large area to cover. On the grounds are several ponds, a dutch windmill, a cafe and gift shop and a great variety of plants. Attracted by all the different goodies, butterflies, birds and insects have made the garden their home.

|
Downtown has more than 2 dozen Historical houses to visit, even some have been restored and transformed into shops and cafes. Most have kept their original beauty, as per fireplaces, high ceilings and wall borders.

| Other recommendations: |
One can`t be in St Andrews by-the-sea without stoping at the Market Square situated on the Wharf. Cafes and lots of interesting goodies.
Also everywhere in the city you`ll notice many murals.
