  • One of my favorite spots to get the wind to blow the worries away and be mesmerized by the view. A short hike and two steep stairs make it just a tat challenging if you have a physical challenge, however it's do able and worth to bring a beer to the top and reward yourself.
  • The Very Definition of "NEATO"!!! It was late morning, the sun was approaching its zenith when off to the east we saw sails! English ships coming to reclaim Curacao? Pirates? All around us the men stood warily beside the cannons...waiting for the sentries to confirm the sighting as friend or foe...
  • I love to hang out here
  • Really cool
  • Beautiful fort and is certainly worth to go along. Especially after reading about the history of the fort and the surrounding area.
