Fort King George Park

Fort King George is a Tobago icon, the best preserved colonial fort on the island, and a must see for visitors wishing to spend a quiet afternoon, and another excellent place to watch the sun dip below the horizon on a balmy Caribbean evening.

You can see military arsenal like old canon, artillery, gun powder barracks, punishment cells, ancient history.  The great surprise is the view overlooking Tobago’s coastline, it’s just picture perfect.

There is a small museum at Fort King George with some interesting Island Carib artifacts. While there are no Amerindians in Tobago these days, there was a significant number in the past who successfully fort off invading forces in the early days, until their eventual demise.

You’ve got to see this Fort with its breath taking view of the beautiful island.


There are tours available, if interested please e-mail jevegems@gmail.com

  1. Every time I visit this place, I think of how much our borders need protection! Those cannons should be activated!
