Why This Is Finally the Summer to Discover Canada’s East Coast

For Canadians looking to finally explore the East Coast, there’s no better place to begin than St. Andrews by-the-Sea, New Brunswick, and no better way to experience it than with a stay at one of the country’s most iconic historic hotels: The Algonquin Resort.

Perched above the Bay of Fundy, The Algonquin is a national treasure with more than 130 years of hospitality history. Originally opened in 1889, this grand Tudor-style resort has welcomed royalty, prime ministers, and generations of travelers in search of fresh ocean air, coastal charm, and relaxed luxury. The Algonquin continues to offer timeless elegance paired with modern comforts and family-friendly summer experiences.

From scenic morning bike rides and poolside duck races to ghost tours, live music, and stargazing by the firepit, The Algonquin comes alive in summer. Whether you’re visiting as a couple, with friends, or on a multigenerational family trip, every day offers something to slow down and savor.

For golf enthusiasts, The Algonquin Golf Course is ranked among the Top 20 public golf courses in Canada. With its dramatic clifftop holes, sweeping ocean views, and a back nine considered one of the most scenic in the country, it’s a must-play destination that’s worth the trip on its own.

Just steps beyond the resort, the charming town of St. Andrews hosts a full calendar of summer festivals and waterfront events, from the Broadway by the Sea Festival to Paddlefest, Pirates Fest, and Katy’s Cove celebrations.
