Gulf of Mexico, West of Key West, Florida.

Dry Tortugas National Park

Uncharted territory.

70 miles west of Key West, Florida lies one of North America’s most inaccessible National Parks, the Dry Tortugas. One must take a boat or seaplane to visit! This 100-square mile park is mostly open water with seven small islands.

A few of our favorites

Garden Key Beach
Queen conch sightings!

Snorkeling
The shallow and clear waters and white sands lend way to corals, tropical fish and queen conchs.

Historic Fort Jefferson
The islands crown jewel was once a prison during the Civil War and built to protect one of the most strategic deepwater anchorages in North America. Definitely allow time to explore this fortress!
