Alberic Oullette, Sr. purchaced the land now known as Sandy Point Resort between 1928 and 1932 from Mr. Carl Helen.  At the time of his puchase, the property only consisted of a snack bar, a few cottages and two sandy beaches.  With the help of his employees, Alberic built up the resort to include motel rooms and several new cottages bringing the total number of units up to 77.

Eventually, Alberic's son, Bric Ouellette, took over the resort and increased it's size even further to include a larger restaurant with the Star-Lite Lounge, a game room, and several larger cottages.  The lounge opened on June 23, 1965. 

Guests were invited to attend the grand opening where they could receive two free cocktails of their choice as well as a charcoal broiled sirloin steak or lobster dinner for $2.45.  At one point guests also had their choice of rooms in three different motels known as the Scenic, the Deluxe, and the "A" Motel.  Prices were as low as $8.00 a day.  Now, there are three levels of motels known as the Scenic, the Hillside, and the Beach ranging from $100-$150 per night.


A lot has changed over the years!
