St. Andrews by the Sea, New Brunswick

The old Blockhouse stands guard over this small seaside town like it did back during the British rule.

The lighthouse in St. Andrews was small, but it was still a nice monument to the town's seafaring history.

At low tide, one can walk on the ocean floor!

I am standing on the ocean floor in the bay.  The Bay of Fundy has the world's highest tidal variations!

The old Loyalist Anglican Church in St. Andrews reminded me of the Anglican churches I saw in Barbados also.  The stain glass windows are from Europe, old, and original as well!

This is a nice collage of pictures to commemorate the visit of HRH Prince Charles and the Princess Diana to the Anglican Church in St. Andrews.  The signatures in the frame are from the royal couple.

The Algonquin Hotel is an iconic landmark in St. Andrews.

This old colonial style house is very representative of the colonial architecture.

    St. Andrews in New Brunswick is one of the most visited places in Canada.  This small seaside village is very close to the US border, and it is at the southern tip of New Brunswick.  A lot of British loyalists fled to this area after the Revolutionary War, and they established the community.  The tidal variations of the Bay of Fundy can be witnessed here as during low tide, one can walk on the ocean floor.  At high tide, the water fills up.  There is an island called Minister's Island which has a land bridge that is only usable during the low tides.
