Review:
Fort Jefferson and Dry Tortugas National Park protects seven of the Dry Tortugas islands, along with the remains of Fort Jefferson, the Western Hemisphere's largest brick masonry structure. The unfinished fortress is among the United States' largest fortress sites, exceeded in size by only Forts Monroe and Adams. Visitors can travel to the park via seaplane or boat and explore the park's undisturbed tropical ecosystem, which has been protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1976. Stunning protected coral reefs offer excellent opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving throughout the year. On land, visitors can enjoy opportunities for picknicking, birdwatching, saltwater fishing, and overnight camping.
