Fort Karl

Things to do · Saint-Barthélemy, Saint Barthelemy

The hilltop remains of one of the three Swedish forts that once guarded Gustavia, reached by a short marked trail from the edge of town near Shell Beach. Little of the structure survives, but the walk is easy and the summit gives sweeping views over Gustavia's harbour on one side and the sea approaches on the other. It pairs naturally with a visit to Shell Beach directly below.
