FLORIDA KEYS - Marathon
Search for availability in this area
Beside its new concrete counterpart, the old Seven Mile Bridge juts into the sea like a giant fishing pier inviting anglers,
walkers and nature lovers to enjoy one of Florida’s most scenic and historic vistas. The blue-green panorama of the Gulf of
Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, dotted with lobster traps and sailboats, is not unlike the scene that greeted passengers on Henry
Flagler's Overseas Railroad, which linked the Keys to mainland Florida from 1912 until 1935. Those passengers probably
took little notice of the sparsely populated island at the northeastern foot of the Seven Mile Bridge. Today, Marathon boasts
a modern airport and some of the best fishing, diving and water activities anywhere in the world. This is Marathon, the "Heart
of the Florida Keys.” Marathon has blossomed into a small city centered on the island of Vaca Key at the midpoint of the Keys
island chain. It boasts homely resorts, luxury accommodations, and the conveniences of a modern community. At the same time,
Marathon has retained the charm of its roots as a 19th-century fishing village.
