The fort itself consists of four or five cannons guarding Admiralty Bay and due its location, has extensive views of this side of the island. Getting there you pass through some colorful and interesting houses. More

Not much to see, only some old cannons and a low wall of masonry. Which I doubt are originally. History to be read on a sign at the site. And of course a stand where they are selling t-shirts and tourist “artefacts”. Aside from the nice view, not worth a visit. You can get nicer views from Mount Pleasant. More

However, I would suggest that before leaving Bequia you take a trip up to Fort Hamilton to get an additional and different perspective on the island that you've been visiting.

We walked up to the fort (took about 20 minutes from Port Elizabeth) and it was a gorgeous view from up there.

We took a taxi up to the top of the island and what a view! You could see on all sides of the island with a beautiful view of Admiral Bay below. There was not much of the fort left but the view was worth it! More
