In January, 2025, Leah Bartlett and Abe Greenspoon purchased the Seaside Beach Resort from Beth Campbell and David Sullivan. Leah and Abe left their careers in the public service in Ottawa, and moved to Saint Andrews to start a new adventure. Leah was raised in Sussex NB, with her extended family having settled in this community for many generations, and Abe grew up on Manitoulin Island, ON. We are thrilled to be back to living a more rural lifestyle, along with our dog Garbanzo and cat Chickpea.

Relax - You're at Seaside. Welcome to our resort. We’re so happy you are here! Our goal is to provide a comfortable, safe and relaxing space for all our guests, as they enjoy a visit to St. Andrews-by-the-sea in southern New Brunswick. ​ Our resort includes 20 private units and 4 private cabins. All units are self-contained, with their own entrances, kitchens and bathrooms. Units are equipped for basic daily living, with dishes, cutlery, bedding and towels. We have 200 feet of waterfront footage spanned by a large boardwalk and backed by a large open yard. The yard is equipped with picnic tables and charcoal barbecues for general use, while some units have their own tables and barbecue. Downtown Saint Andrews is only a five minute walk from the property, including a supermarket and the town wharf, out of which the various whale-watching companies operate. Within a short driving distance you can visit Kingsbrae Gardens, the Huntsman Aquarium, and Ministers Island.

St. Andrews was founded by United Empire Loyalists after the end of the American Revolutionary War. The Passamaquoddy Tribe of Native Americans used the site largely for ceremonial purposes before that, and later shared the area with French traders. The town was chosen by the first British settlers in 1783 partly for its proximity to shipping lanes on the Atlantic coast, and partly because of its scenic location. The early economic history of the town centered largely on the triangle trades with Britain and the West Indies, but after the timber trade died out in the middle part of the 19th century, the town fell on hard times. It was partially relieved of economic distress in the 1880s with the advent of tourism from the New England states entering the Passamaquoddy Bay first on Campobello Island and later in St. Andrews itself. The tourist trade was bumped up further in 1888 with the arrival of the St. Andrews Land Company, formed largely of American investors in the railway and hotel business in and around Boston and New York. The Land Company built the Algonquin Hotel and golf course, and shortly later, saw the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway and its gentry.
