Most People Don’t Know About These Strange Ruins Hiding In Florida
There’s just something about historic ruins that catches your eye and captures the imagination. It’s impossible not to wonder what these ruins once looked like when they were built long ago and what secrets they might hold. Today, we’re going to explore one of Florida’s most fascinating ruins.
Welcome to Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas National Park. These exotic ruins are located on a small island about 70 miles from Key West.
Despite its impressive size, this abandoned 19th-century fort was actually never completed. Fort Jefferson may be huge and desolate, but its stunning surroundings make this historic fortress hauntingly beautiful.
The island can only be visited by boat or seaplane, and although camping is permitted, there are no modern amenities on the island. This lonely spot is, however, one of the most magical places in the state for stargazing.
Other reasons to visit this popular national park include swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling in the crystal-clear sapphire waters that surround the fort as far as the eye can see.
With jaw-dropping views from its abandoned fort, azure tropical waters, and an unspoiled natural island to explore, Dry Tortugas National Park deserves a spot on any Floridian's bucket list.
