Dry Tortugas National Park Visitors Guide

Dry Tortugas National Park is located 70 miles west of Key West, Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. It’s one of the most unique destinations in the entire country with a blend of rich history and an unblemished marine ecosystem. The park features several small islands that are accessible by private boat or ferry service.
