Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida
Per the National Park Service website: Almost 70 miles (113 km) west of Key West lies the remote Dry Tortugas National Park. The 100-square mile park is mostly open water with seven small islands. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, the park is known the world over as the home of magnificent Fort Jefferson, picturesque blue waters, superlative coral reefs and marine life, and the vast assortment of bird life that frequent the area.
While several of Hashtag 59's writers and photographers are chasing the quest to visit all 63 U.S. National Parks none of them are close to Seth B. Check him out on Flickr HERE.
Seth has been to almost all of them including one that is located 70 miles West of Key West; it is called Dry Tortugas National Park.

Dry Tortugas National Park Florida Need to Know’s:
You can take a ferry there from Key West that runs daily when weather is nice. In April it was a stunning day but when we tried to go camping there in December it was cancelled.
The Ferry Info is HERE. You can then spend the day taking a ranger tour of Fort Jefferson, Swimming/Snorkeling, and Exploring the Park. It was a great experience.
You can also camp but you need a permit, all of that info is here!
This is a great tack on to a trip to Key West Florida!
You can also arrive via a private boat if you have access to one.
