FLORIDA - MARATHON, THE FLORIDA KEYS

Marathon in The Florida Keys Located as it is very nearly at the mid-point of the Keys, Marathon justly deserves its appellation of "Heart of the Keys", and a busy heart it is. What began as a tiny fishing village in the early 1800s has become a bustling metropolis replete with shopping malls, a country club and restaurants ranging from elegant to express. Marathon, which sits on Key Vaca island, boasts fishing tournaments throughout the year.

Party boats take groups out to the wrecks and reefs on trips lasting a few hours or several days. In spring and early summer, charter boats carry anglers out to the Gulf Stream to catch the mighty marlin. The island also boasts a nine-hole golf course and numerous sport resorts. The breathtaking drive over the Seven Mile Bridge begins at Marathon, a vantage point unsurpassed for taking in the sheer sweep of the Straits of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.

Attractions include the famous Seven Mile Bridge (the old bridge is now the world's longest fishing pier), Sombrero Public Beach with it's own little picnic island, West Sister Rock, Dolphin Research Center, Pigeon Key Historic Railroad site, Turtle Hospital, and museums of Crane Point Hammock (Florida Keys Museum of Natural History, Children's Museum and 5 mile Nature Trail through an endangered tropical hammock forest).
