Dry Tortugas National Park is a little known destination that feels like a trip to the Caribbean. Within 70 miles of Key West, the park is only accessible by boat or seaplane. Traveling by seaplane is more fun, but the ferry is cheaper. Dry Tortugas National Park hosts Fort Jefferson, a hexagonal fortress on the desolate island. Touring the fort is a must. Be sure to bring drinking water and snacks with you, as there are no stores on the island. You can also bring a bathing suit and go snorkeling, or go birding, or even camping.
Key Takeaways:
- This national park in Florida is hardly visited, but a beautiful destination.
- You can visit by boat or seaplane and have a beautiful day exploring the islets.
- You can also visit the abandoned Fort Jefferson on your trip.
“An adventure out to the Dry Tortugas National Park’s main islet, otherwise known as Fort Jefferson by a seaplane is a totally awesome experience.”
