Fort Gustave & Gustavia Lighthouse
17° 54.1′ N · 62° 51.1′ W
The 1787 Swedish battery on the headland north of the harbour, with a ruined guardhouse, powder store and oven beside the island's lighthouse - the classic view down onto Gustavia harbour and out to the anchorage.
Practical
Position is the OpenStreetMap lighthouse node; Fort Gustave is 80 m west. Short steep walk up from the harbour. Watch your step for the tortoises that live around the lighthouse (Happy Charter). The cannons are fibreglass reproductions (2012 report). Good spot to check the anchorage and swell before moving.
