Fort Dade
📍 Egmont Key, Florida
“You hop off the ferry and feel the warm sand beneath your toes as you approach the fort ruins. Weeds sprout through the old brick, and the gentle waves whisper tales of battles fought long ago.”
This forgotten gem on Egmont Key once defended the mouth of Tampa Bay and is now a fascinating mix of ghostly ruins and stunning beaches. You can wander through decaying structures and spot iconic seabirds resting on the old fortifications.
