Stop 36 · Key West access
Dry Tortugas National Park
Nature
Remote island national park west of Key West, known for Fort Jefferson, blue water, snorkeling, and the ferry-or-seaplane planning it takes to get there.
Why it matters
Dry Tortugas is not a normal road-trip stop, and that is exactly why it needs special handling. Ferry and seaplane access turn it into a planned expedition from Key West, with Fort Jefferson, reef water, and remoteness making it a capstone rather than a casual pin.
- What to order
- Book ferry or seaplane access early; treat this as a dedicated day, not a casual stop.
- Hours
- Access depends on ferry and seaplane schedules; reserve well ahead.
