Fort James, St. John's

The view from Fort James was beautiful. And was neat to see the canons. Though it's a shame that there is so much trash inside the buildings and that there's no effort to preserve them. If in the area it's great for quick stop and beautiful view. I wouldn't recommend taking a walk down to the house on the property. Aside from trash, there are the "leftovers" from drug use all over the ground. Don't walk the area without shoes, and don't allow children to run around either. It's a shame there's so much trash, and this place isn't better preserved. The view is beautiful.

There are other more famous historical sites in the island. Fort James was an interesting place to find. Out sat nav didn't know the roads so we had to follow our instincts. Beach was popular on a Sunday. Fort and cannons are free to explore. Views are stunning out over the water and bay.
