The Dry Tortugas National Park, a series of islands 70 miles from Key West, is a place of great beauty, history and solitude. There’s no road to Dry Tortugas. You take a boat or seaplane, but only if weather permits. You can camp near Fort Jefferson on the island called Garden Key. Construction on Fort Jefferson began in 1845. It was meant to be a federal installment for ships that would patrol the Gulf of Mexico. During the Civil War the fort was a staging place for Navy ships assigned to blocking Confederate ports. For birdwatchers, the Tortugas are a world treasure. Snorkelers can watch mangrove snapper, barracuda and the wiggling antennae of a spiny lobster hiding in the crack of a seawall.
