Alexandria Bay, village in the town of Alexandria in Jefferson County, New York, United States
Alexandria Bay is a village on the Saint Lawrence River in Jefferson County, New York, located at the border with Canada. The settlement sits where the river widens into a spacious bay and several islands form a scenic network of waterways.
The village was founded in the early 1800s and grew into a major harbor and trading point for the region. Its proximity to the Canadian border made it a key crossing point for river traffic.
The best time to visit is from May through October when river activities are most active. Access is mainly by road, and parking is available near the waterfront area.
The village is home to several well-known mansions and estates from the late 1800s built by wealthy families. These buildings stand as reminders of its former role as an exclusive summer destination.
