Spanning nearly a hundred acres, Fort Charlotte is the largest of its kind in New Providence. The fort sits on a hill at the end of the harbor and provides a panoramic view of Paradise Island, Nassau, and the surroundings. The fort was built by Lord Dunmore in 1788 and comprises several dungeons, a moat, underground passageways, and forty-two cannons. There are several local tour guides which you’ll come across there who’ll be more than happy to take you through the fort, point out unique features, and give you a complete history. Depending on when you’re there, you may be also to witness a live performance featuring characters in period costumes, exhibits basket weaving techniques, and much more.
