[1] St. Andrew's-by-the-Sea stands near New Hampshire's seacoast in southern Rye, on the east side of Church Road south of Jenness State Beach.

The chapel's stained glass windows were designed by John La Farge, the Connick Studios, and Tiffany & Co. Other major features of the interior include massive timber trusses supporting the roof, and an elaborately carved oak pulpit.

The church property includes a small graveyard and is surrounded by a low stone wall, with a lich gate built in 1977 as a reconstruction of an original.

This chapel was built in 1876 to serve Rye's large summer resort community.
