Blackbeard's Castle: 1679 Danish Tower & Caribbean Port Views

★ 4.8 (739)

Don't expect actual pirates; it's a 17th-century Danish watchtower. The climb up 99 Steps feels like a leg workout, but the panoramic harbor view at the summit justifies the effort. Spend 45 minutes snapping photos of the terracotta roofs and blue water. Most island tours, like the Paradise Taxi scenic route, build in a quick stop here. Skip the overpriced private tours if you only want the view. Wear sneakers; those stone stairs are unforgiving.
