Fort Lafayette

📍 Key West, Florida

You dock your boat near Fort Lafayette and feel the tug of adventure as you step onto the sandy remains of this forgotten fort. As you navigate the ruins, the salty breeze carries whispers of the past, intertwining with the sound of waves crashing against crumbling walls.

A less-traveled yet fascinating ruined fort that played a role in the Spanish-American War lies right off the coast of Key West. The crumbling walls tell stories of past skirmishes, and visitors can explore the partially submerged remains while enjoying the surrounding beauty of the ocean. It's one of those 'wow, I had no idea' kind of spots.
