Lonely Planet review for Fort Augusta

Augusta Drive runs along the breeze-blown harbor shoreline parallel to Port Henderson Beach - the thin strip of sand is terribly littered. At its eastern end is Fort Augusta, dating from 1740. The original fort was destroyed when lightning struck the magazine holding 3000 barrels of gunpowder, killing 300 people. The huge crater was filled in and the fort rebuilt. Much decayed, the fort is now a prison.
