Dry Tortugas National Park, a 100-square-mile coastal preserve located off Key West, is accessible only by boat or air. Azure waters surround seven small, reef-fringed islands, each offering untouched natural beauty. On Garden Key, the sprawling Fort Jefferson stands as a testament to 19th-century military architecture, one of the largest forts of its time in the United States. Visitors can explore the historic fort and enjoy the pristine, secluded environment, making it a unique blend of natural and historical attractions.
