Ft
Jefferson National Park
No trip to Key West is complete without a visit to the Nation's most
inaccessible National Park, located in the Dry Tortugas. Here is some
general information on the Park, and suggested travel. I prefer to
fly, it's just so decadent!

Ft Zachary Taylor
Located at the end of Southard Street (go through the gates at Truman
Annex), this sandy, rocky beach is on the island's Atlantic tip. Facilities
include swimming area, changing rooms with baths, and barbeque areas.
I get a tranquil feeling just walking through the thick grove of Australian
Pines.
