Fort Fincastle is one of Nassau’s three historic forts. It’s located very near the well-known Queen’s Staircase. As a fort, it is pretty limited: a few ramparts with replica cannon and two small rooms. The main appeal is that it offers a panoramic view of Nassau, including its harbor and the Atlantis resort. The imposing water tower nearby offers a better vantage point, but it is closed to visitors. The Fort is worth visiting if you decide to see the Staircase, but you wouldn’t spend more than 15 minutes at the Fort itself, and have to brave a gauntlet of souvenir vendors just to get to it.

Fort Fincastle in Nassau, Bahamas, was a great stop during our visit. The views from the fort were fantastic, offering a beautiful panorama of the island. Our guide was amazing and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend visiting Fort Fincastle for anyone exploring Nassau!

Prior to entering this fort, you walk past a hoard of vendors. This fort is small and does not offer much. The highlight of this fort is that it has the highest point on the island, which gives great views. Price was too high.

Such a cool place to visit. Right near the Queen's Staircase. Offers a wonderful view of the Harbor and Paradise Island. I didn't go in, but I didn't feel it necessary to do so. You can walk around the perimeter and still have an enriching experience. Lots of shops and stalls just outside the fort for souvenirs. Places to get water and other items to drink by the entrance to the Queen's Staircase. Public restrooms here as well. A mere 10-minute walk up from Bay Street to get here.
