Florida Keys Vacation Accommodation

Marathon – Eco-Tourism & Fish Viewing

Marathon is situated at the mid-point of the Florida Keys island chain, which is why locals have declared their home "The Heart of the Keys." making it an ideal location to spend a Florida holiday and visit the Keys. The city boasts homey resorts, luxury accommodations and apartments, but no Florida villas.
There are numerous restaurants, ample shopping and all the conveniences of a modern community. While most of the waters around Marathon are open to fishing, some areas have been set aside purely for eco-tourism and fish-viewing by divers and snorkelers.

Sombrero Reef, Dolphin Research Centre & Turtle Hospital

Sombrero Reef, one of the most beautiful sections of North America's only living coral barrier reef, lies just several miles offshore and is protected by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Marathon is also home to the Dolphin Research Center and the Turtle Hospital, which are working to preserve two of Florida's most famous marine creatures.

The Lower Keys – Big Pine, Little Duck, Sugarloaf, Big & Little Torch Keys

The Lower Keys begin where the Florida Keys island chain takes a graceful westerly turn, shortly after the famous Seven Mile Bridge. It is a quiet region of small resorts, down-home restaurants, single-family homes, un-trampled wildernesses and rich history. They include Big Pine Key, tiny Little Duck Key, Bahia Honda Key, Summerland Key, Big Torch and Little Torch Keys, Cudjoe Key, Sugarloaf Key and Big Coppitt Key. With its white sandy beaches and abundant wildlife, Bahia Honda Key frequently makes the list of the most beautiful beaches in America. All are an easy drive to Key West.

Key West – Ernest Hemmingway’s Home & Atocha Galleon Treasure

Key West, the southernmost tip of the U.S.A, is a city where real estate titles date back to the Kings of Spain. During your Florida Keys holiday, you should stroll the palm-lined streets and discover gingerbread mansions, tin-roofed conch houses, the John Audubon House and Ernest Hemingway's home.
Walk in the footsteps of Thomas Edison, Lou Gehrig, Harry Truman, and Tennessee Williams. Gaze at the fabled treasure of the galleon Atocha. Discover tomorrow's fine art treasures by Key West's well-known and unknown artists.

By day you will be entertained by jugglers, mimes, musicians and street artists. At night the city moves to a different beat. The streets, filled with sidewalk cafes, open-air bars, legendary pubs and world-class restaurants come alive making Key West a great location for a lively Florida holiday.
