Fodor's Expert Review Gates Fort Park and Builder's Bay Beach

Named after its neighboring military fort, Gates has a very small beach that is popular with local families. The park is off Barry Road, not far from Alexandra Battery, a favorite diving spot of St. George's children. It's also near Builder's Bay Beach, a good spot for snorkeling. From the Gates Fort, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of cruise ships as they navigate the reefs through the Town Cut. Amenities: parking (free). Best for: solitude; sunrise.
