About Marathon
Marathon Key
Florida,
a quaint
tropical
city with a
rich
sea-faring
history,
boasts a
modern
airport, the
impeccably
well kept
Sombrero
Beach and
some of the
best
fishing,
diving,
snorkeling
and water-sports
anywhere in
the world.
Many marine
activities
are centered
on Boot Key
Harbor, a
sheltered
cove in the
center of
the island
that is home
to the City
Marina.
History
buffs and
eco-tourists
will enjoy
the Museums
and Nature
Center of
Crane Point
Hammock.
While most
of the
waters
around
Marathon are
open to
fishing,
some areas
have been
set aside
purely for
eco-tourism
and
fish-viewing
by divers
and
snorkelers. Sombrero
Reef, one of
the most
beautiful
sections of
North
America's
only living
coral
barrier
reef, lies
just several
miles
offshore and
is protected
by the
Florida Keys
National
Marine
Sanctuary.
Literally
miles of
bike and
walking
paths adorn
Marathon for
memorable
walks or
trips around
the island.
Access to
the main
bike and
walking path
in Marathon
is literally
10 steps
from the
front door
of Atlantic
Breeze
condominiums!
This pathway
provides a
quick and
easy travel
route to
Sombrero
Beach, the
main
shopping
district and
the entire
island.
History:
A famous
historic
site near
Marathon
Florida is
Pigeon Key,
a tiny
island that
was home to
those who
built
Flagler's
railroad. It
can be
reached by
walking a
little more
than a mile
across the
Old Seven
Mile Bridge
or by taking
the trolley.
Marathon was
named during
the building
of Henry
Flagler’s
railroad.
During
construction
of the
tracks on
this island
in the
middle of
the Florida
Keys, a
worker made
the comment
that the job
was a
marathon.
The name
caught on.
Florida Keys Travel Tips:
Airlines- When making transportation arrangements, it is best to fly into Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Key West International airports. Commercial charter flight connections are also available directly into Marathon's International airport from numerous cities in Florida. Feel free to contact us anytime for all of your travel arrangements @ 1.800.237.1033. We've personally been visiting the Keys since 1979 and have been sending satisfied customers there since 1988.
Essentials: Four items you should always have with you in the Keys are a camera, sunscreen, hat, and polarized glasses.
Clothing: Pack light! The Keys are warm all year around although occasionally you may want to wear a sweatshirt or light jacket in the evenings.
Accommodations: There are numerous options in the Florida Keys from private isolation on a small island to our favorite; vacation home rentals to traditional large chain hotels. The amenities provided by a typical Florida Keys vacation home rental will insure you and your family or guests have the most enjoyable vacation ever!
There are numerous topless and nude beaches nearby and a short boat ride from the dock are endless numbers of uninhabited outer islands for the ultimate privacy.
