Dry Tortugas National Park · Florida
Dry Tortugas is about 70 miles west of Key West and reachable only by boat or seaplane. Families explore massive Fort Jefferson, snorkel over shallow reefs right off the beach, and watch for seabirds and sea turtles. There are no stores on the islands, so bring what you need for the day, and plan your ferry or seaplane trip well ahead.
Hours, roads, and programs change with the seasons. Check current conditions on the official Dry Tortugas National Park website before you go.
