Marathon is a major sport fishing destination, with several charter fishing boats departing from local marinas every morning to both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Bountiful reefs around Marathon make it a popular diving, snorkeling, spear fishing, and lobster tickling area. One of the last untouched tropical hardwood hammocks in the Keys is found at Crane Point Museum, just a few miles west of Florida Keys Marathon Airport. This airport is also one of the most reliable sites in the entire United States to see the hard-to-find Antillean Nighthawk.
Marathon is the home of the Fisherman’s Hospital in the west end of the city. It is one of just three hospitals in the Florida Keys. Marathon is home to another “hospital” – The Turtle Hospital, one of a handful of facilities in the United States with the ability to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured sea turtles. The City of Marathon offers many restaurants, including the popular The Island Tiki Bar and Grill, Catch 53, Burdines, Keys Fisheries, Castaway, and The Stuffed Pig. Marathon derives much of its livelihood from the ocean and seafood is a staple at most restaurants.
Marathon holds the distinction of having the tallest building in the Keys, Bonefish Tower at 143 feet on Coco Plum. Sombrero Country Club, the only Country Club in the Keys, is located here. It has been hit hard by several recent hurricanes. Marathon also hosts Burrowing Owls.
