As such it was an important part of the triad of forts built to protect the rapidly growing trading town of St John’s.

Located on the west coast of Antigua lies Pearns Point a dramatic and spectacular peninsula connected to the main land by a narrow causeway. Here you can find Baker's Cellar Rock.
Baker's Cellar Rock was once a fumarole (a volanic vent). This is why the peninsula is so rich in minerals such as manganese and iron, giving off colourful hues that are stunning to see while snorkeling around the rock.
The caves are only accessible during calm conditions.
