gradually assumed a full schedule of activity.

sun bathing,. Marathon is ideally suited. In the easy-going surroundings
of Marathon, resting is truly resting, not rusting.

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 co ral 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 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.
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.
