Experts' Choice Award Fort Montagu
What the experts agree on
Nassau's oldest fort (1741) offers weathered cannons and harbor views, though the limestone ruins are best appreciated from outside—mainly of interest to fortification enthusiasts.
“Dating to 1741, this limestone fort is the oldest on the island, built to guard the eastern approach to Nassau Harbour.”

Frommer's "This fort -- the island's oldest -- stands guard at the eastern entrance to Nassau's harbor...the ruins of this place are mainly for fort buffs. Regrettably, it can be visited only from the outside." Full review
Fodor's "The small fortification is quite simple, but displays a lovely elevated view of Nassau Harbour. The second level has a number of weathered cannons. A public beach looks out upon Montagu Bay." Full review
