When you land

Things to do in Marathon

Marathon sits in the heart of the Florida Keys, a string of islands roughly midway between Key Largo and Key West. It is a working fishing town as much as a resort area, with charter captains, commercial boats and marinas filling Boot Key Harbor and the bayside canals. The flats, reefs and offshore waters put tarpon, bonefish, permit, snapper and mahi all within reach, and many visitors plan an entire trip around the bite.

    Connecting Marathon to the Lower Keys, the bridge offers sweeping water views, and the restored Old Seven Mile Bridge alongside it is open to walkers and cyclists out to Pigeon Key.
