Description

Garden Key, part of Dry Tortugas National Park, spans 14 acres and is the second-largest island in the park. This remote gem is accessible only by boat or seaplane, with ferries and seaplanes departing from Key West. The island's highlight is Fort Jefferson, one of the largest forts from the 19th century, which makes Garden Key rich in history. Garden Key also offers a visitor center, campgrounds, and spectacular swimming and snorkeling opportunities. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty and camp overnight with amenities such as restrooms, showers, and picnic areas.
