   Marathon Nature & Recreation
   

Witness a beauty beyond...

Marathon and the Middle Keys are a true vision to behold. Whether from the air or driving US 1, these islands are surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. Marathon's reefs offer great variety in coral formations and fish life. The crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean reveal a marine wilderness comprised of an extensive spur-and-groove coral complex and numerous well-developed patch reefs. Each reef is populated by a vast array of Caribbean tropical fish and invertebrates, with the fascinating addition of both modern and historical shipwrecks to complete the tremendous sport dive appeal of the region.

  • Sombrero Reef - This traditional favorite of the Marathon dive portfolio is marked by a 140-foot lighted tower. Coral canyons and archways provide refuge for schools of grunt and snapper while solitary barracuda appear to stand sentinel.

  • Coffin's Patch - This is reef is made up of six distinct patch reefs, each with a unique identity defined by a predominant coral species. For example, at Pillar Coral Patch dozens of intact pillar coral heads thrust their fuzzy polyps to snare passing nutrients. Snorkelers will especially appreciate the shallow Elkhorn forests found throughout Coffin's Patch in less than 20 feet of water.

  • Delta Shoals - Here a vast network of coral canyons fan seaward from a sandy shoal, offering wonderful opportunities for both diving and snorkeling amid Elkhorn, brain, and star coral heads.

  • The Thunderbolt - This 188-foot ship was intentionally sunk as a dive attraction in 1986. She now sits upright in 115 feet of water. Her superstructure is coated with colorful sponge, coral, and hydroid, providing refuge and sustenance to large angelfish, jacks, and a variety of deep-water pelagic creatures.

   Marathon's Superb Climate
   
Marathon's Current Climate
 

The Gulf Stream is close off shore and with the clear blue waters of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico lapping our shores, the climate is equitable the year round. The Trade Winds arrive, tempered and cleansed by their journey over miles of blue water. Never has frost been recorded here since temperature records have been kept. The humidity is low because the Trade Winds from the South seep across the islands. This makes the summers pleasant. There is no dust or pollen.

To see by car...

The world’s most famous series of the Overseas Highway bridges starts at Marathon. From here, you can enjoy an island cruise by car on the ribbon of highway and island-hopping bridges. On the Seven Mile Bridge, where you can get out of sight of land, the water has more shades of blue and green than were ever mixed by human hand. From Bahia Honda Bridge, where you are a little closer to the sky, a chain of coral islands, wooded with green stretches out in each direction.

   
   Marathon History  
   

Back to the past...

To learn more about the history of Marathon, visit Pigeon Key at the Old Seven Mile Bridge. There you can venture back in time to visit the tiny island that played a big role in the Florida Keys of today. Pigeon Key is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
