Snorkelling Homestead

Explore a remote island paradise 70 miles west of Key West. Visit Fort Jefferson , a massive 19th-century coastal fort, and walk its brick walls while hearing stories about soldiers, prisoners, and shipwrecks.

Snorkel in clear blue water filled with coral, tropical fish, and sea turtles. Relax on sandy beaches and look for seabirds that nest only here. Stroll through the fort’s archways, climb to the top for ocean views, and learn how the fort defended the Gulf of Mexico.

You choose what to do first—swim, explore the fort, or enjoy the beach. The tour works without internet, gives GPS directions for walking the site, and offers local tips you can keep forever.

Download the tour, take the ferry or seaplane, and explore this unique national park at your own pace—where history, nature, and crystal-clear waters meet.
