Fort de Windt

Ruins in Sint Eustatius

Sweeping views of St Kitts to the south and the Quill and White Cliffs to the northeast extend from this historic fort at the island's southern tip, 3.3km southeast of Oranjestad's Fort Oranje. Between January and April, keep an eye out for whales offshore. The stone structure was completed in 1756 and used to monitor shipping routes before it was abandoned in 1815. It retains a pair of forest-green-painted cannons atop a cliffside wall.
