St. Andrews by-the-Sea, as it is often called, has long been one of New Brunswick's premier vacation destinations. This pretty seaside town sits beside the U.S. border and has an old-fashioned charm. Once a hotspot for wealthy Americans who owned the lavish turn of the century homes that line the downtown core, it has a high-end feel but remains approachable and fun. From lobster rolls to chowder to fine dining, lovely eateries abound, many with a view of the harbor. Take a boat tour to Minister's Island, the largest tidal island in Canada, or reach it with a short drive across the ocean floor at low tide. Other top experiences include Kingsbrae Garden, Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Center and Ross Memorial Museum in the National Historic District. The rich biodiversity and remarkable seascapes of the Bay of Fundy draw nature lovers for walking tours or kayak excursions.
