Pirates, prisoners, and a deadly epidemic haunted Florida’s Dry Tortugas. Now it’s a haven for wildlife.Almost 70 miles west of Key West lies the remote Dry Tortugas National Park. This 100-square mile park is mostly open water with seven small islands. It is accessible only by boat or seaplane.The quickest and most thrilling way to reach Dry Tortugas is by seaplane,taking you on a low-altitude sight-seeing tour.The bird’s-eye view of sunken Spanish ships, as well as an abundance of marine life,well worth the money.
Fort Jefferson is a massive but unfinished coastal fortress.,it is the largest brick masonry structure in the Americas.
The National Park offers some of the best snorkeling in North America. Whether you are a beginner or expert, you can enjoy a myriad of colorful tropical fish and living coral, straight off a brilliant white sand beach.
