New Brunswick

(a QuaintVillage)

St. Andrews is Canada's oldest seaside resort town. It has a nice historic district and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. You will find covered bridges, lighthouses, and picturesque islands in the vicinity.

This region also has the world’s highest tides, which can vary over 28 feet. During low tide, you can take a guided walk on the tidal flats or a drive across the ocean floor to Ministers Islands to see the Van Home mansion.
