Braamspunt is a nature reserve, fishing village, and a former military outpost in the Johan & Margaretha resort of the Commewijne District of Suriname.

[2] After Fort Nieuw-Amsterdam was constructed in 1747,[3] a redoubt was created at Braamspunt to aid in the defence of the Colony of Suriname.

[6][7] The redoubts Braamspunt and Leiden quickly fell to the enemy, but Fort Nieuw-Amsterdam managed to offer resistance before it too was conquered.

[8] Suriname was returned in 1815 at the Congress of Vienna[9] During the 18th century, ships had to anchor at Braamspunt before being allowed to continue to Paramaribo.

[10] In the late 19th century, the strategic importance of Fort Nieuw-Amsterdam and its redoubts started to decline,[3] and Braamspunt became a little fishing village with a tiny population.
