About Marathon

Marathon is the working heart of the Florida Keys, a 10-mile island city built for boating, fishing, and turtle rescue. Less polished than Key West and less sleepy than the Lower Keys, it offers genuine Keys waterfront living with its own airport and a famous oceanfront hospital for sea turtles.
