Fort Montagu, built in 1741, is a compact limestone fortification located on the eastern shore of Nassau.

Visitors can explore the bastions, see the original cannons, and enjoy a short walk along the waterfront, making it a quick but rewarding stop for those interested in Bahamian colonial history.
