Explore Dry Tortugas National Park
For an unforgettable adventure, take a day trip to Dry Tortugas National Park, a beautiful remote and breathtaking national park. Dry Tortugas National Park, located at the southwest corner of the Florida Keys reef system, is a unique destination where less than 1% of the park is dry ground. With such a small amount of land, the best way to fully experience this national park is by swimming. Explore Fort Jefferson to learn about how it was strategically built to protect one of the most important deepwater anchorages in North America. It served as an “advance post” for ships patrolling the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida. And if you’re up for even more outdoor adventure, check out their campsites available on Garden Key, where Fort Jefferson is.

Bagatelle is located on Duval Street in an architecturally beautiful historic building that was converted into a restaurant in 1979 and has been serving delicious dishes ever since.
