Snorkel charters from Key West
So where is Dry Tortugas, and how did such a natural treasure get such an odd name? About 68 miles off the western tip of Key West, Dry Tortugas National Park is a group of tiny islets known for their sea turtles. Since tortugas is Spanish for turtles, that explains a portion of its unique name.
But what makes it dry, given that Dry Tortugas National Park is surrounded by the waters of the crystal clear blue Caribbean? It turns out that the name comes from when the Spaniards occupied the islands, and they quickly discovered there was no fresh water available. So the islands came eventually to be called the Dry Tortugas, or "dry turtles." To this day, as a major tourist attraction, boaters and tour operators must bring in their own water for visitors.
First designated a National Monument by FDR, the Dry Tortugas islets were named a National Park in 1992 at the tail end of George H. W. Bush's term right before Clinton won the November election. As the home of the unfinished Civil War era Ft Jefferson (a brick structure which came to be used as a prison housing accused conspirators in Lincoln's assassination), the strip of sandy beaches and colorful reefs is now a destination for the 80,000 tourists who visit each year. Everyone leaves in amazement at the fascinating history of the former fort originally thought of as a defense against the real pirates of the Caribbean.
Tourists now can experience many interesting and fun activities in Dry Tortugas National Park, from the tour of historical Ft. Jefferson, to sunning on the sandy beaches, to a memorable snorkeling trip to see the diverse sea life.
Of course, visitors can only arrive by chartered boat of sea plane. So if you want to book a trip, a Dry Tortugas charter will be necessary. There are some great discounts available on Dry Tortugas charters, Key West hotels, Key West snorkeling, and other recreation packages at Gold Card Key West.
