Fodor's Review:
At the north end of the island is the Fort Frederica National Monument, the ruins of a fort built by English troops in the mid-1730s to protect the southern flank of the new Georgia colony against a Spanish invasion from Florida. At its peak in the 1740s, it was the most elaborate British fortification in North America. Around the fort are the foundations of homes and shops and the partial ruins of the tabby barracks and magazine. Start your visit at the National Park Service Visitors Center, which has a film and displays.
