THE LUXURY POST

This Abandoned Fort in Florida Must be Haunted

An abandoned fort in Key West is the largest masonry structure in the Western                                    Hemisphere.

Many times when I write about things on The Luxury Spot, I haven’t personally experienced them. Today however, I get the rare opportunity to write about a place I’ve actually been to.
Dry Tortugas National Park is about 70 miles west of Key West. If you like gorgeous beaches, amazing weather, trashy people, and abandoned forts, keep reading. Dry Tortugas is home to Fort Jefferson, an abandoned fort that was built in the 19th Century, but never completed. I visited there with a boyfriend once in college, and lets just say that we definitely took advantage of all the dark rooms and dungeon-like alcoves. If sex in abandoned forts isn’t your thing though, you can also engage in snorkeling, bird watching, kayaking, saltwater fishing, and camping.
No matter what you do when you arrive, you owe it to yourself to go down there and swim in the crystalline waters; there is no greater cure for a miserable winter.
