If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Sombrero Beach located 1.7 mi (2.7 km) from central Marathon. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Sunset Park Beach.
Seven Mile Bridge is 4.8 mi (7.8 km) from central Marathon, why not stop by during your stay. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here?
Enjoy a trip to Curry Hammock State Park and popular activities like running in Marathon. Stroll along the beautiful beaches or discover the beautiful sunsets in this relaxing area.
Take the kids to visit the sea life who live at Dolphin Research Center during your trip to Marathon. Wander the seaside or discover the area's beautiful sunsets.
Dive into crystal-clear waters to snorkel with sea turtles at the Turtle Hospital's rehabilitation center. Kayak through mangrove tunnels or cast a line for tarpon in this laid-back Florida Keys paradise.
Marathon is right in the middle of the Keys, so it's an easy drive anywhere from Key Largo to Key West. However, there's plenty to do in Marathon itself. It's quieter and more laid-back than some of the other Keys. A great place to visit.

Sombrero Beach was awesome! We also visited Bahia Honda State Park, which had a beautiful white sand beach. Curry Hammock State Park was also very relaxing. We enjoyed walking over the 7-mile bridge walking section.

Marathon is a wonderful place with a lot to see and do. I highly recommend the Turtle Hospital. We were fortunate enough to be able to see a turtle released! Lots of great food around and Sombrero Beach is beautiful.

Only complaint about Marathon was restaurant pricing. Other than that, the area is nice. Not as chaotic as Key West but close enough to go there and get back to Marathon in less than an hour both ways.

If staying in marathon be mindful that everything, including resultants tends to close fairly early. If you are arriving later in the night you will not find food or a grocery store open.

My family has been visiting the Keys since I was a kid and often stay on Marathon. We enjoy the slow pace and lower cost of it compared to Key West.
"This was our first time here. The property is beautiful! The kids LOVED playing at the main pool, lagoon & other pool w/ pirate ship splash pad. Our only complaint is the water in all these areas is very warm except the pool by the pirate ship. Maybe when they build the new water slide area they will include a system that keeps the water cool & refreshing. Food & drinks were delicious but also expensive. We mostly ordered from the main pool tiki bar/grill. Jacob & Tomas from Turkey were so friendly & provided excellent service! We tried Salt & Ash for a nice fancy dinner & were not disappointed. Breakfast in the cafe always had a long line so be prepared. They accidentally had us listed as taking our food to go even though we did not request that. They gave us a number to place on our table but the food never came out & sat at the counter forever until we finally inquired as to the wait. We assumed it was taking long bc they were so busy. So that was a bit disappointing. We had the family oasis room w/ bunk beds which was perfect for us. There isn’t a view (looks out to the back of a building), but that didn’t bother us since we were barely in our room. Beds were comfortable, the AC was cold & the shower hot. We spent 3 nights there & didn’t leave the property except for one time to have dinner at Lazy Days in Islamorada which was so good. Though there are some areas that can be improved, overall we had a wonderful trip & look forward to coming back."
"One of the best resorts we’ve ever stayed at. Food ?amazing. Views ? Amazing . Beach Bar ? Amazing .. People there are great. . Wish there was more “ beach frontage “ but that can’t be helped. "
"The staff is very friendly.! Only concern The only concern is that they charge for parking, but everything else is excellent.
Thanks!
