4 Reviews on “Fort James, Black Rock, Trinidad and Tobago”
The fort is standing on a headland overlooking the Great Courtland Bay. Cannons are well maintained and great to visit for history lovers.
My tour group was taken here after half a day of sightseeing of the island. The breeze is delicious if the day is unbearably hot and the view is just beautiful.
Every time I go to Trinidad and Tobago I make sure to visit the Fort James only for the lovely view. Each time I go more and more people are there, but I don’t mind. It’s a good place.
I vacation on T and T for years and I know most of the places and I already have favorites. Fort James is one of them. The view is something special. Just sitting there and doing nothing but gazing at the sea makes you feel calm and at ease.
