Dry Tortugas National Park is a remote, 100-square-mile park 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, known for its stunning turquoise waters, abundant marine life, and historic Fort Jefferson on Garden Key, accessible only by ferry or seaplane for activities like snorkeling, birdwatching, and exploring the massive brick fort. The islands were named by Ponce de León for their sea turtles ("Las Tortugas") and lack of fresh water ("Dry").
