Whether you’re tracing the coastline by car or arriving by air, the final stretch invites you to slow down, take in the view, and settle into something quieter. For many of our guests, it’s not just the destination they remember, but the way it unfolds getting there.
By Car: Timeless Coastline
For guests travelling from the Northeastern U.S., the journey to St. Andrews is as rewarding as the destination itself. After crossing the border into St. Stephen, New Brunswick, it’s just a 30-minute drive to the resort.
From the border, follow Route 1 East briefly before connecting to Route 127 South into St. Andrews. As you approach town, the road narrows, the pace softens, and the coastline begins to reveal itself.
At the first stop sign, turn left onto Harriet Street, then right onto Prince of Wales Street—where The Algonquin Resort welcomes you on your right, with parking just across on your left.
Complimentary on-site parking is available for all guests.

Along the way, there’s no shortage of sights to take in, from Ministers Island and New River Beach Provincial Park to the Reversing Falls. For a classic East Coast stop, Ossie’s Lunch is a beloved seasonal seafood stand known for fried clams, lobster rolls, and roadside charm.

From Fredericton, take Highway 7 South to Highway 1 West, then follow Highway 1 toward the St. Andrews exit. En route, consider a short detour to Saint Paddy’s Falls, McAdam Railway Station, or Lake George for a glimpse of New Brunswick’s waterfalls, railway heritage, and freshwater cottage country.
