Rescue, Rehab, Release! That's the motto of the Turtle Hospital and it's a great experience. Located a block away from the hotel, it's a must do while in Marathon. Make sure to reserve a tour spot ahead of time on their website.
Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters
11710 Overseas Highway, Marathon, FL 33050
The aquarium is very "hands on" with sting ray, shark, and coral reef snorkeling encounters.
Bahia Honda State Park
36850 Overseas Highway, Big Pine Key, FL 33043
A great Florida state park that has bay and ocean side beach access. John and Emily spent a relaxing afternoon at the park wading in the water and enjoying the sunset view.
Seven Mile Bridge
47 Overseas Highway, Marathon, FL 33050
Just west of the hotel, check out the Seven Mile Bridge made famous in the movie "True Lies". The views are spectacular, and it sends you on your way to Key West.
