Fort Charlotte Park in Nassau is an absolute must-visit for anyone keen on history or seeking a bit of adventure. Built in 1789 by Lord Dunmore, this 100-acre fort offers impressive views of Paradise Island and the bustling harbor from its hilltop location. The fort features dungeons, underground passageways, and 42 cannons that have never been fired in battle. It's a captivating exploration of Bahamian history, and a perfect spot for a quick photo!

A fun insider tip: if you ask a local, they'll likely tell you that Fort Charlotte is sometimes known as "Dunmore’s Folly" because it was considered poorly designed and hugely over budget. Despite this, it's a fascinating site to explore and offers a deep dive into Bahamian history.

So, whether you're wandering through the underground passageways or enjoying the historical reenactments, Fort Charlotte provides a captivating glimpse into the past that you won't want to miss.
