Dry Tortugas National Park
Almost 70 miles (112.9 km) west of Key West lies a cluster of seven islands, first discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1513, called
the Dry Tortugas. The area is rich in natural wonders such as reefs, shoals, and abundant sea life. It is also known for
its history as a military site where Fort Jefferson was constructed in 1846, but never completed. The Tortugas are also a
great family attraction as kids can learn all about the habitats, history and animals around Fort Jefferson while becoming
a Junior Ranger.
