Review:

Marathon is a charming city stretching across 13 islands within the Florida Keys, known as a major center for wildlife watching and water sports. The city's beaches are among the most beautiful in the Florida Keys, including Coco Plum Beach and Sombrero Beach, known as important nesting sites for loggerhead turtles. Visitors can explore the gorgeous sandy shorelines of Curry Hammock State Park or peruse tropical forest areas near Crane Point, which is also home to a bird rescue center and natural history museum. The Dolphin Research Center offers opportunities to interact with dolphin populations up close and personal, while Aquarium Encounters lets visitors feed stingrays. Marathon City Marina offers ample opportunities for sailors and anglers to dock after long days on the water. Each year, the city hosts the annual Stone Crab Claw Eating Contest in November.
