- Seven Mile Bridge. Keep your eyes open for turtles, fish and sharks! This bridge extends over 7 miles of beautiful blue water. You can spot lots of boaters in the evening and it’s a great place to take a drive if you’re looking for a spot to watch the sun set. The road extends from Marathon to Key West.
- Dolphins Plus. Located in Key Largo, this watery attraction is the perfect spot to bring the children for the day. It features an entire host of aquatic creatures, and of course the star of these water animals is the adorable dolphin. Children 7 and up can swim with the dolphins. It is an amazing experience that is not to be missed.
- Captain Hook’s Marina and Dive Center. This is the best place in Marathon, Florida to go diving and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. You can get everything you need for a day on the water: boats, charters for fishing, scuba gear, and so much more. They also offer diving classes with experienced instructors.
- Harry S. Truman Little White House. The Little White House is the only Presidential museum in Florida, and it exhibits the winter home of America’s 33rd President. You can also find many lovely homes that resemble Hamptons rentals along the beach to overlook!

Places to Eat
- Garbo’s Grill Possibly one of the most popular eateries in Key West, this dining venue is both a tourist and local favorite.

They also serve great Korean barbeque plates and as traditional Mexican fare.

- Butterfly Café. From the presentation of the food to the fantastic name, Butterfly Café is easily the best place in Marathon to eat. The scallops and grouper entrees are simply amazing.
