You can tour the fort by yourself, reading the signs and information that is posted, which is what we did. We carried a drink up from the bar and sipped while we... More

“Oh what a view!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

This was a fairly short drive, and the view is breathtaking. You can easily see St. Kitts. Nothing there though, but the view, and two cannon, mounted to face the sea. More
