Dry Tortugas

Dry Tortugas is a group of small, remote islands located 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. Accessible only by boat or seaplane and renowned for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs, it's a haven for snorkelers and divers. Garden Key is home to beaches and the beautiful 19th-century Fort Jefferson - once used as a Civil War prison. Loggerhead Key has a lighthouse and sea turtles. The Windjammer Wreck, the remains of an 1875 ship, is a popular dive site. The isolation of Dry Tortugas adds to its allure, providing a unique and pristine natural environment.
