St. Andrews, founded in the late 1700s as a loyalist town and shipbuilding center, has a charming downtown, punctuated with nautical shops, quirky boutiques, and places to sit and people watch.
A lovely inn, Canada's oldest summer hotel, sits in the middle of the main street.
St. Andrews is the home of the Algonquin Resort and prestigious 18-hole golf course.
The picturesque seaside Veteran's Memorial.
Like all cute towns, they had a lovely coffee shop, where I had the tastiest maple scone and hot apple cider.
And then
Have you ever been to St. Andrews-by-the-Sea or anywhere in the Maritime Provinces of Canada? Where are your favorite spots?
What a charming little town! Your hot cider and scone look delicious! I so want to visit New Brunswick. And St John. And PEI. :)
ReplyDeleteNew Brunswick was so much fun! I can't wait to go back and explore more, as well as the other maritime provinces. Definitely must-sees. Thank you for stopping by, Kimberly!
DeleteI live in Ontario but have never made it east of Quebec. Visiting the maritimes is definitely on my list. I would love to road trip out there. Thanks for sharing your photos, it just makes me want to visit even more!
ReplyDeleteOntario is a lot of fun...we have been to Toronto many times, and Ottawa too. And Montreal is a must see, as is Quebec City. New Brunswick was so much fun as well!

DeleteThe colorful shops and artwork is beautiful, I laughed at the inclusion of phone booths..
ReplyDeleteI did too, JJ. I almost took a picture inside. It was perfect...so nostalgic, given the very small town Main Street scene. Love it! Thank you for stopping by!
