About the area
Marathon, Florida, is a tropical getaway that epitomizes the laid-back lifestyle of the Florida Keys. This ten-mile-long family-oriented island community is nestled in the middle of the Keys island chain. Known for its azure waters, balmy weather, and a friendly atmosphere, Marathon is a slice of paradise for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure.
One of the main attractions in Marathon is the Sombrero Beach, a stunning, palm-fringed coastline that offers soft sands and clear waters, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking. The beach is also a vital nesting ground for loggerhead turtles, adding a touch of natural wonder to your visit.
For those interested in marine life, the Turtle Hospital provides an insightful look into the rehabilitation of injured sea turtles. Visitors can take guided tours to learn about rescue efforts and conservation, and even witness the care that goes into these gentle creatures' recovery.
Aquatic enthusiasts will revel in the opportunities for snorkeling and diving at the nearby coral reefs, such as Sombrero Reef, part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The clear waters provide excellent visibility to explore the vibrant underwater ecosystem teeming with colorful fish, coral formations, and other marine life.

Families will love the Dolphin Research Center, where you can learn about and interact with dolphins in a responsible and educational setting. The center's programs offer a chance to swim with these intelligent mammals and gain insight into their behavior and conservation.
