St. Andrews by the Sea

St. Andrews New Brunswick is a hidden gem often overlooked for the more popular Fundy tourist destinations. It's a gem well worth a visit. Its main street is narrow and lined with period buildings reminiscent of coastal villages long ago.  The atmosphere alone feels coastal and the smells remind you of days lying by the ocean soaking up the sunshine.

The harbour was our destination today as we needed Owen to see how big and safe the tour boats are.

There are lots of tours to chose from but we selected the tall ship tour as it seemed to offer more for young children.

As you can see it was low tide when we arrived

The tour boats were still out but we could walk the floating dock and read the information panels along the way.

There were some small boats tied to the wharf and these guys struggling with the sail asked me if they were doing it right. I replied, "As long as the boat isn't sinking you are fine". Why ask me? Do I look like a sailor?

After walking the harbour we headed through town and back to camp. Lots of quaint streets lined with beautiful stately homes, many turned into B&Bs.

Back at camp it was time to enjoy the pool before supper. Then back to town for ice-cream. Yes, Owen likes Ice-cream and we couldn't let him eat alone. No pictures, too busy enjoying bubblegum ice-cream.

Tomorrow we sail the tall ship and search for whales and pirate treasures. Another fun day and Owen couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.
