Review:
The remote location of Dry Tortugas National Park (70 miles west of Key West), and the fact that it is only accessibly by boat or seaplane, ensure that you will find a truly pristine park where history and marine life will vie for your attention.
The park enjoys international fame for being the home of the superb 19th century Fort Jefferson (Video), which is well-worth a visit. After your history lesson you can enjoy all the wonderful leisure activities on offer, including the chance to snorkel and dive amongst amazing marine life and fascinating shipwrecks. There is a primitive campground at Garden Key but you need to bring everything you need (including water) as there are no supplies available on site.
