Port St. Andrews (45°04'N., 67°03'W.) formed between Navy Island and the town of St. Andrews, is open all year, restricted by drying flats, and should not be entered without local knowledge. Two narrow channels lead across the drying flats and into the harbor.

The main entrance is the E dredged channel, marked by buoys, with a least depth reported of 3m. North Point lies on the N side of the E entrance, nearly 0.5 mile W of Indian Point. A government wharf, 259m long, with a 46m outer face having a depth of 2.4m, lies about 0.4 mile NW of North Point.

The Western Channel, between the flats extending SE from Joes Point and the NW from Navy Island, has a least reported depth of 2.1m.

The tidal rise at St. Andrews is 7.3m at MHWS, and 6.4m at MHWN.

Lights are exhibited from North Point and from the outer end of the wharf. The Algonquin Hotel, with a red roof and a water tower close W, situated on a hill overlooking the town, are conspicuous.

Anchorage.—There is anchorage, in 18.3m, clay, about 0.4 mile S of Joes Point.
