Fort Jefferson is an incredible 19th-century fort nestled in the Dry Tortugas Islands in the Caribbean Sea, due off the coast of Key West, Florida. It's one of America's most isolated national monuments, and its remoteness is part of its appeal. The Dry Tortugas are situated around Fort Jefferson, built as the third largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere during the mid-1800s. An incredible structure that will mesmerize any traveler who visits. The fort was used as a military prison, and it is now a significant historical site and beautiful tourist attraction in Florida. You can visit the old fort and walk along the brick walls and moat to get a sense of the history of the fort. You can also take a boat ride around the fort for better views. Boat tours are also often accompanied by lush bird-watching and snorkeling opportunities. From the fort, you can see many species of nesting and migratory birds.
