Dry Tortugas

The Dry Tortugas National Park is the reward for sailors and seaplanes willing to venture beyond the rum-spilling bars of Key West. And what a reward it is! Crystal-clear waters abound. They teem with all sorts of curious creatures – amberjacks, stingrays, sea turtles – and brim with coral gardens. The main island is dominated by hexagonal Fort Jefferson. History buffs should be sure to check it out to learn all about the fight against swashbuckling pirates in the Caribbean back in the 1800s.

This is a place that never gets old
