Scarborough - Fort King George
Built in the 1780s overlooking Scarborough Bay, the site offers both a good view of the town and a park-like tranquility with some magnificent trees. Some of the original brick and stone walls, an early prison, the officers' mess, several cannon, and a later lighthouse still survive. It is the best preserved fort on Tobago.
The Tobago Museum is located on the grounds.
