Located in the Middle Keys, Marathon, Florida, is a nature-lovers paradise, boasting beautiful beaches, wildlife viewing and animal encounters, the largest tropical hammock in the area, and a wide variety of wonderful watersports.

Marathon, FL, considered to be the “Heart of the Florida Keys,” is a breathtaking island paradise, consisting of 13 islands over a 10-mile-stretch. This area is known for its wonderful wildlife, luscious landscapes, gorgeous beaches, and natural beauty as far as the eye can see! Visitors travel from all over to walk through the thatch palm forests of Curry Hammock State Park, as well as visit one of the last untouched tropical hardwood groves at Crane Point Hammock and Nature Trail. A trip to Marathon is an incredible way to reconnect with nature, by both land and sea!

With part of the only living coral barrier reef in the United States located just a few miles offshore, Marathon is a popular destination for spectacular snorkeling and swimming. In deeper waters, artificial reefs, like the Thunderbolt shipwreck, make for an unparalleled deep sea diving experience! Fishing is another year-round Marathon *must* with Tuna and Billfish biting in the winter, impeccable Tarpon fishing in the spring, and Mahi-Mahi in the summer. From jet ski tours to zoom across the crystal-clear waters, to parasailing high in the sky for a bird’s eye view, there’s something for everyone in this fantastic, family-friendly slice of paradise.
