There’s no place on earth quite like the Dry Tortugas National Park. Located 70 nautical miles away from Key West, these seven remote islands converge in the Gulf of Mexico’s glittering waters.
These isles are home to the only barrier reef in North America, the Great Florida Barrier Reef.
Amazingly, about 99% of this natural treasure is open water, making it a haven for wildlife.
Today, this archipelago is deemed as one of the most captivating and extraordinary destinations in Florida. This is due to both its remoteness and stunning views.
