Nassau See & Do Guide: Fort Fincastle

Fort Fincastle

Sightseeing - Historic Sites
Sands Road and North Street, Nassau, New Providence Island, Bahamas

This fort, oddly shaped as a paddle-wheel steamer, was built in 1793 atop Bennett's Hill. Because no attacks occurred after its construction, it served as a lighthouse until 1817. The views from the fort include the docks, Cable Beach and Paradise Island. Leading up to the fort is the Queen's Staircase—66 steps carved out of limestone by slaves in the late 18th century. Free. Sands Road and North Street (off East Street), Nassau.
