There’s something about St Andrews Beach that feels different from the rest of the Peninsula. The air is saltier, the dunes rise higher, and the ocean doesn’t ask for your attention — it takes it. At the gateway to this rugged stretch of coast, you’ll find a modest 80s brick veneer, part of a tiny hamlet of local shops.
