Fort Fincastle Nassau, The Bahamas |
Landmark |
The Water Tower, off Prison Lane just across the way from Fort Fincastle, is the highest point on the island. You’ll take either a small rickety elevator or a long and winding staircase to the top of the tower, a spot that offers one of the finest views on the island. To the north are the cruise ship docks. To the west, Cable Beach and fancy-colored resort hotels; to the east lies Paradise Island; and to the south, Nassau.
