Things to do
Public Beaches
Marathon has one of the finest public beaches in the Florida Keys, Sombrero Beach. Sombrero Beach is an easy 2.5 miles from the Marathon Key Beach Club.
The beach boasts beautiful white sand, playground equipment, charcoal grills, and bathrooms.
And they have outdoor showers to rinse the sand off before you get back into your car.
Turtle Hospital
Marathon is also home to the famed Turtle Hospital, a nonprofit turtle rescue organization caring for sick and injured sea turtles. Their goal is to rehabilitate all the turtles brought in and then release them back into the wild. They do have a few permanent residents who were, unfortunately, not able to survive in the ocean.
