| About Marathon, We have lots to do in Marathon. The living coral reef, just off our
doorstep, is home to beautiful tropical fish, unparalleled underwater scenery that can be
enjoyed by the novice, experienced diver, or snorkeler. Our waters around Marathon teem
with a wide variety of sport fish. Many world record trophies have been won right here,
with our local guides. If seafood is your pleasure, we have some of the best seafood
restaurants in all of the Keys, in all, we have over 60 of them, many right on the water
where you can watch the fishing boats and enjoy the most wonderful sunsets you'll ever
see. Make Marathon your home base and explore the Keys by car. You will see some of the
most spectacular island scenery that you'll find nowhere else in America.
Looking for attractions, interested in the ecology of the
Keys? Then Marathon is where you want to be. We have the Dolphin Research Center, the
Museums at Crane Point Hammock and our very picturesque Pigeon Key. You can read all about
them. I could go on and on about Marathon. As Chamber President, I guess that's what you
would expect me to do. But, I have to tell you, I've lived in Marathon most of my life and
I wouldn't trade it for anywhere else. The natives call it "Paradise", I do,
too. Why not come and see for yourself.
