Fort Bennett

Tobago


Built by the British in 1778 to defend against US enemy ships, little remains of Fort Bennett other than a couple of cannons, but this landscaped promontory offers lovely coastal views over Stonehaven Bay, with benches and gazebos in the choice viewing spots. It’s on a rocky hill at the north side of Stonehaven Bay, about 500m west of a marked turnoff on the main road.
