Fort Bennett

Fort Bennett

Located in Black Rock on the western coast of Tobago, Fort Bennett is a small but historically significant fort built by the Dutch in the 17th century and later controlled by the British. It was strategically positioned to guard Turtle Beach from enemy invasions. Today, the fort features well-maintained grounds, informative plaques, and breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. It’s a peaceful spot to enjoy a scenic sunset or take in the island’s colonial history. The fort’s location also makes it a great stop for visitors exploring Tobago’s western coastline.
