Wikipedia fills us in:
Here dwelt Philip, Andrew, Peter (John 1:44; John 12:21), and perhaps also James and John. The house of Andrew and Peter seems to have been not far from the synagogue in Capernaum (Matthew 8:14; Mark 1:29, etc.) on the northern coast of the Sea of Galilee. The warm water from copious springs runs into a little bay of the sea in which fish congregate in great numbers.
Bethsaida is described in Mark 8:22-26 as a town where Jesus met a blind man seeking healing. Jesus led the man outside the town before healing him and asked him not to return to the town, nor to inform the people of the town, after his sight was restored.
Bethsaida is also thought to be the sight of Jesus' feeding of the 5,000 with two loaves of bread and five fish.
