​5 Delightful Inns and Resorts in New Brunswick

New Brunswick boasts thousands of kilometers of coastline — and with that coastline comes beautiful beaches, whale watching, boating and sailing excursions and, of course, lots of delicious seafood. Coastal New Brunswick is worth a visit for anyone who loves a little saltwater in their hair and the smell of the ocean in their clothes.

But where can you stay while you’re exploring all that this beautiful destination has to offer? Here are just a few top recommendations.

1. The Algonquin Resort St. Andrews by-the-Sea

This Autograph Collection hotel has welcomed travelers to New Brunswick for more than a hundred years. The all-seasons resort offers plenty to do, right on the ocean. There’s a golf course, indoor pool, dining options, a spa — you barely have to leave to enjoy a long visit. However, when you’re ready to, you’ll find New Brunswick’s St. Andrews is well worth exploring beyond just the resort, thanks to its ample charm and architecture that reflects the town’s 18th-century British history.

2. Kingsbrae Arms

Another St. Andrews, New Brunswick, property, Kingsbrae Arms is a historic estate and mansion with luxurious appeal. The 5-star hotel boasts maritime charm in spades, but still offers an intimate, boutique feel at the same time. Choose from large suites and unique rooms, or book the entire family wing for a stay for a group. The two-floor family wing can house 10 guests at once and even comes with a large balcony with garden views.

3. Seaside Beach Resort

The simply named Seaside Beach Resort has welcomed guests in some form or fashion since the 1930s. Today, the resort offers cottage-style “units” that come outfitted with amenities such as kitchens and even outdoor barbecues. A large lawn edges the property, which sits on the waterfront. Reviewers rave about the property’s local vibe and friendly touch.

4. Friars Bay Inn & Cottages

There’s no need to travel to some tropical locale to enjoy a private island getaway. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Friars Bay Inn & Cottages, situated on New Brunswick’s Campobello Island. Stay in a water-view cottage just steps from the beach. You can book a larger cottage for a group stay or even a long-term stay if you’re envisioning an all-season-long retreat.
