About this site
Moat Wall lies along the historic moat surrounding Fort Jefferson on Garden Key, adjacent to Bush Key in Dry Tortugas National Park, roughly 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. This remote area of the Gulf of Mexico is accessible only by boat or seaplane, and the park protects the coral reefs and waters surrounding the fort.
