Introduction
Dry Tortugas National Park lies about 110 km west of Key West in the Gulf of Mexico, centred on Fort Jefferson and seven small islands. As the most remote national park in the lower 48, it is reached only by ferry or seaplane; the fort's brick corridors face a turquoise lagoon where snorkeling reveals coral and tropical fish — a truly out-of-the-way destination.
