Marathon is sprinting to the top of our list!
Marathon is the best kept secret in the Florida Keys. Set on 13 islands, Marathon, Florida boasts some of the best boating activities anywhere, including deep-sea, reef or flats fishing. Add to that waterfront restaurants, plus jet-ski tours, kayaking, paddle-boarding -- or just cruising the turquoise waters, and you’ve got a recipe for an incredible vacation destination. Located 1 hour from Key West and Key Largo, Marathon is the “heart of the Florida Keys”.
When staying in one of our Marathon, Florida rentals instead of a traditional hotel, you’ll have much more space and privacy, plus cost savings when booking a property for a large group. Some of our Marathon vacation rentals even come with special amenities like a backyard pool, washer/dryer units, and bicycles. Whether you’re looking for a beach condo with amazing views, or a larger home for space for the entire family, you can find it on our site.
Marathon, Florida travel advice
The islands of Marathon are Boot Key, Knight Keys, Hog Key, Vaca Key, Stirrup Key, Crawl and Little Crawl Key, East and West Sister’s Island, Deer Key and Fat Deer Key, Long Pine Key and Grassy Key. The name Marathon came about by the railroad workers who were working night and day to complete the railway. Due to the unrelenting pace and struggle to complete the project, the popular phrase of, “This is getting to be a real Marathon” is how the name originated. Before the railroad, the settlers here were farmers, wreckers and fishermen. To this day, Marathon maintains its claim to some of the best fishing in the world.
Climate
There’s nowhere with more pleasant weather than the lower Florida keys. Steady 80 degree weather (yes, even in winter!) greet you here. The weather is almost perfect every day here with passing showers that only last an hour or so. The Florida Keys are the closest you'll get to the equator while still being in the United States. Due to this fact, the weather rarely differs more than 10 degrees. Come enjoy this tropical paradise whenever the weather is getting you down.
Top activities and attractions in Marathon
You will not run short of activities - on water or on land - when visiting Marathon, FL. Marathon, Florida is one of the top hot spots in the Keys for great fishing. One of the reasons people love to fish in this area is the ideal location. Since Marathon is 80 miles out to sea between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, fish are plentiful right off the shore. People love their boats here too, with over 2000 boat slips in the city.
For a relaxing day out, you can fish from the Long Key Bridge or the Old Seven Mile Bridge. Angle for tuna, marlin, and amberjack off these popular fishing spots. You can also enjoy powerboat races, walking, sightseeing, and birdwatching. Search for seashells at Coco Plum Beach, pack a picnic and play volleyball at Sombrero Beach or play a short round of golf at Key Colony Beach.
For more fun check out the Florida Keys Aquarium with some exotic fish on display. To ‘give back’ to the local sea life visit the Turtle Hospital and the Dolphin Research Center, both of which care for rescued and rehabilitated dolphins, turtles, and sea lions. The Museums of Crane Point features historic photographs, a nature trail, the 19th century Adderly House and a nature preserve that is home to deer and a variety of birds.
And when it comes to diving, there are dozens of incredible spots near Marathon. Grab your gear and head out to the spur and groove reefs, as well as patch reefs ripe for exploration. You’ll come face to face with shrimp, crabs, small fish, and beautiful reefs - but look, don’t touch!
Venture out to the tallest lighthouse in the Keys, the Sombrero Key Light which can be seen from the Seven Mile Bridge. One of the highlights of a dive on the reef is a swim under a natural coral bridge formed where two fingers of coral meet.
If you are looking for a good underwater photographic subject, The Barge may fit that bill. This 100x300 foot wreck is only twenty-two feet below the surface and is terrific for a first wreck dive.
Annual Events
There are a handful of annual events that keep tourists flocking to Marathon each year. In early March, the Marathon Seafood Festival brings 24,000 visitors to the area and stands as the 2nd largest festival on the Keys. This 2-day festival celebrates great seafood and offers everything from lobster to shrimp, live entertainment, arts show, activities for children, and more than 200 vendors selling jewelry, clothing, arts & crafts, and other great souvenirs.
For the fisherfolk among us, the Marathon International Bonefish Tournament casts its lure later in the year. This challenge recognizes individual and team champions scoring the largest bonefish and permit, and the top anglers in fly and grand slam divisions.
Restaurants and Bars
Hungry? You’ll find sweet relief here in Marathon. There are dozens of restaurants to suit any taste. Food for Thought is a wonderful cafe that serves sandwiches (both healthy and not so healthy) and has tremendous reviews from customers. For something a little higher in price, you’ll want to step in to the Florida Keys Steak & Lobster House where they’ll cook your steak exactly as you want, and the sides are divine, too. Butterfly Cafe serves up delicious seafood appetizers (try the crabcakes!) while Burdine’s Waterfront is an outdoor grill with incredible views of the ocean. For bottomless drinks try the bar at the Lighthouse Grill where it’s happy hour every night!
