Fort Charlotte Tours and Activities

High atop a hillside overlooking the harbor of Nassau is the British-colonial Fort Charlotte—the largest fort in Nassau. Constructed in the late 18th century for a battle that never took place, this historic site offers picturesque views, hidden underground passages, a waterless mote, remote dungeons and even authentic canons. Guides are available to help travelers navigate through subterranean halls far below the fort, but well-place signage and plenty of light means visitors can just as easily explore the grounds on their own.
Practical Info
The fort is an easy walk from Bay Street and Arawak Cay. Entry is less than $2 per person. Tours take place Monday through Sunday at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Address: Fort Charlotte, Nassau, Bahamas
