Riding here
Dry Tortugas is a cluster of tiny islands far out in the Gulf, reached by ferry or seaplane from Key West. Garden Key is almost entirely covered by Fort Jefferson. There's nowhere to ride, so leave the bike in Key West, which is one of Florida's most bikeable towns.
Getting there: Ferry (Yankee Freedom) or seaplane from Key West. These services go only to Garden Key.

None: there are no roads.
Where you can't
No roads or bike routes on the islands.
