Marathon

Marathon has served as a railroad community in the Florida Keys since the early 20th century. Spread across Vaca Key and neighbouring islands, it lies between the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay, with boating, fishing and diving central to local life. The Seven Mile Bridge, built for Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad and later incorporated into the Overseas Highway, remains a defining engineering landmark; Pigeon Key beneath it preserves part of the railroad era. Marathon is also home to the Turtle Hospital, a rehabilitation centre for injured sea turtles. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Florida Keys.
