Description
Dry Tortugas, Turtle Pin
Sea turtles are often sighted around Dry Tortugas National Park. Originally named 'Las Tortugas' by Ponce de Leon, this collection of small sand and coral islands is famous for the abundance of sea turtles that annually nest in the area. Five species of sea turtle are found in the waters of south Florida: loggerhead, green turtle, leatherback, Kemp's ridley, and hawksbill.
