Hidden Gems Florida Attractions Tourists Never Find

Exploring the Dry Tortugas

For those willing to venture a bit further, the Dry Tortugas National Park is a must-visit. Situated about 70 miles west of Key West, this remote park is accessible only by boat or seaplane. It is home to the historic Fort Jefferson, a massive coastal fortress, and offers some of the best snorkeling and diving experiences in the state, thanks to its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life². Visitors can camp overnight on the island, providing a unique opportunity to stargaze in one of the darkest skies in the region.
