An ancient historical Fort that has since been converted to a tourist hot spot with a grand selection of hotels, restaurants and general eateries. An excellent place to visit and spend time in a family friendly educational and entertaining outing. They're working on some repairs and maintenance works at the moment but it hardly takes away from the magic of the whole experience.

A fortress made by the Dutch people. This place is heaven. You can travel here for days. The sunset and sunrise over the horizon is a breathtaking view. This place covers an area of 130 acres and very old. A great place to walk, hangout, swim on the beach, eat, shopping and every thing
