No matter which method of transportation you select, you will be thrilled with the chance to see the unmatched beauty of the Dry Tortugas. This collection of isles was given its name by the renowned Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon. This adventurer may not have found the legendary fountain of youth in these islands, but he was astounded to find a thriving population of sea turtles. He named the isles after these reptiles, Tortugas.
This series of windswept cays is a federally protected wildlife preserve that is a must see for any nature enthusiast vacationing in Key West. The coral reefs off the shores of the Tortugas offers snorkelers some of the most intriguing and biologically abundant dive sites in the Florida Keys.
You can also visit the massive brick fortress on Garden Key, Fort Jefferson. This historic landmark was originally constructed to defend the merchant traffic entering the Gulf of Mexico.
