Perched high above Scarborough, overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea, Fort King George stands as one of Tobago’s most well-preserved colonial landmarks. Built by the British in the late 18th century, this historic fort served as a key military stronghold during a time when European powers fought for control over Tobago.
Visitors today are treated not only to sweeping panoramic views of Scarborough and the coastline, but also to beautifully maintained gardens, stone pathways, and original cannons that still point seaward as reminders of Tobago’s turbulent past.
The site is also home to the Tobago Museum, which offers exhibits on the island’s military, cultural, and archaeological history. Fort King George provides an immersive experience for history enthusiasts, photographers, and travellers simply looking for a peaceful and scenic escape.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning explorer, Fort King George offers the perfect blend of history, nature, and breathtaking scenery. How can we maintain and enhance this historical site to drive more everyday visitors while preserving its heritage?
