Overview
Loggerhead Key is the secluded island west of Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park, best known for its 19th-century lighthouse rising above white-sand beaches. Its clear waters have some of the park's best snorkeling, with coral reefs, tropical fish, and sea turtles, and it is an important nesting area for sea turtles and seabirds. It is reached only by boat, and its isolation keeps it uncrowded.
