Directions
Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the most remote parks in the National Park System. Located approximately 70 miles west of Key West it is accessible only by a daily concession ferry, private boats, charter boats, or seaplane. There is no commercial airplane or car access to the island. Also if traveling to the island you need to make preparations for all needs as there are no facilities other than a small gift shop in the fort.
Weather Notes
It is always wise to check the weather before arriving at the Dry Tortugas. During the summer temperatures can rise into the 90s and during the winter temperatures can drop to the 50s. Summer storms are common and rough seas will happen during winter.
