Key West Historic Seaport
Dry Tortugas National Park
Great headings from Key West include:
•To the East, via Hawk Channel and the Atlantic Ocean, the Keys Barrier Reef--the only living coral reef in North America, numerous uninhabited Keys, great harbors and quiet anchorages.
- •To the West, the Boca Grande Islands and the Marquesas--Bird Refuges, wilderness islands with great beaches; incredible dolphin habitat and bird watching. This is an area of historic ship wrecks and the romance of treasure--including Mel Fischer's discovery of the Spanish treasure galleon, Atocha, which yielded over $2 billion in gold and silver.
•To the North, via the Gulf; again, many beautiful uninhabited keys, harbors, anchorages--another great dolphin watch area.
•Dry Tortugas, Fort Jefferson National Park-70 miles west of Key West is a historic pre-civil war fort that was built encompassing an entire key to guard the entrance to the Straits of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. The snorkeling around Fort Jefferson is outstanding-the underwater brick walls of the Fort provide an attractive habitat for marine life. (Please note: This trip is strenuous and requires the right weather window and time period to travel. It usually takes a minimum of 7-8 days).
All of these "destinations" offer natural, unspoiled beauty, privacy if desired, snorkeling, diving, fishing, memorable sunsets, beaches for bonfires and swimming.
These ideas can be combined with day sailing, snorkeling, enjoying the local history and the famous nightlife of Key West.
