You can breathe in the fresh, ocean air while enjoying gorgeous views by walking, biking, skating, or jogging on the famous Seven Mile Bridge (Pigeon Key). It is 1.9 miles each way with water views all around and underneath you.

Observe the fantastic array of sea life from the comfort of the old Seven Mile Bridge, where you may observe tarpon, sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, dolphins, and much more. The morning is the best time to go and see the sea life.

There is also the Marathon Bike Trail, which you can walk, bike, or skate. It goes from Mile Marker 47 to 54. You can also choose the bike trail that stretches from US Highway 1 to Sombrero Beach and around the golf course.

Reef Resort has bikes available for guest use free of charge so you can start exploring!

Coco Plum Beach is a great place to look for seashells and is one of the few beaches in the Keys with a wide, soft expanse of sand!
Take a walk along Sombrero Beach shoreline (wear footwear) and shake some seaweed to find tiny shrimp. You can also look for crabs, snails, mussels, chitons, man-o-war and other varieties of jellyfish. Warning: Do not touch the jellyfish. There are amazing photo opportunities at Sombrero Beach.

The Crane Point Museum (there is an admission charge for the museum) is a great place to see some birds.

There are stunning sunset spots all over the Florida Keys, but one of the most exciting is the old Seven Mile Bridge where you can see brilliantly colorful 360-degree sunsets. Sunsets from the bridge at Bahia Honda ($2 pedestrian fee) or the sunset festivities at nearby Key West (Sunset Pier) are also fabulous. Arrive early, as there can be crowds.

Sunrises are also especially great in the Keys. We recommend Coco Plum Beach or Sunset Park on the corner of W. Ocean and 12th Street for the most picturesque sunrise spots.

Some wildlife centers include: Aquarium Encounters, Dolphin Research Center and the Turtle Hospital.

Restaurants to check out:
For a fine dining experience, check out the Lighthouse Grill. Well-known locally as the best 5-star, fine dining with American Cuisine, the dining establishment serves up fresh fish and dinner specials made daily by Chef Mauricio Montes. Lighthouse Grill has great specials, including a free entrée on your birthday!

To live like a local, visit Sparky’s Landing! This favorite hangout of Marathon locals lets people kick back in a relaxed, casual atmosphere and offers a great Happy Hour special, where you can find Key West Pink Shrimp and Wings.

To enjoy a happy hour sunset, head over to Lazy Days South, where you’ll find 4-star seating both inside and outside. This fun spot also has plenty of great specials on food and drinks

If you are craving lobster or in a hurry, the Keys Fishery is best known for its Lobster Reuben. It’s also great for grabbing a meal on the go or sitting on the docks to eat. When you order at the window, instead of giving your name, they ask for you to name a TV show, and when they call your show, your food is ready. You can either take your food to the tables surrounding the Fish Market or walk up to the Tiki Bar on stilts. The Bar offers a raw bar with whatever is in season, such as Stone Crab, Tuna Sashimi, Fish Dip or Mussels, and Oysters.

For a delicious and affordable taste of Italy, dine at Frank’s Grill, which is owned by Chef Frank and serves authentic Italian cuisine. The restaurant is small and quaint with a romantic atmosphere. Reservations should be made before visiting Frank’s, and the restaurant’s lunch deals and dinner specials are among the locals’ favorites.
Suggestion: Please call the restaurants before going to verify they are open and if you need a reservation.
