Fort King George, perched on a hill overlooking Scarborough, is Tobago’s best-preserved and most famous fort.

The site is also home to the Tobago Museum, which houses artifacts from the island’s history, including Amerindian relics, military memorabilia, and colonial-era documents. The well-maintained grounds and scenic vistas make Fort King George a must-visit for history buffs and photographers alike.
