Activities and Attractions

If you like fishing the hottest ticket in town is Marathon's 
explosive tarpon fishing. Anglers continually marvel at the 
spectacular leaps, strong runs, and incredible endurance of 
the "silver king." The Seven Mile and Bahia Honda bridges are the 
sites of the heaviest tarpon fishing action. Tarpon fishing is the 
best way for a novice angler to catch a large fish.
Offshore fishing is excellent for trolling for such Gulfstream 
pelagic as sailfish, dolphin fish, and wahoo. Marathon provides 
anglers with an additional bonus, the Marathon West Hump. Rising 
from depths of 1,100 feet to a peak of 480 feet, this underwater 
platform is a veritable dinner table in the Gulfstream for gamefish, 
providing an excellent spot for anglers targeting blue and white 
marlin, Mako shark, blackfin tuna, amberjack and a host of other 
fish.

Reef fishing in Marathon provides anglers with great fishing for 
yellowtail, mangrove, and mutton snapper, along with grouper, 
mackerel, and the ever-present barracuda. With its beautiful coral 
reefs, Marathon also has numerous oceanside artificial reefs. Depths 
of these artificial reefs range from 25-200 feet, providing a wide 
variety of angling opportunities for both surface, mid-depth, and 
bottom dwelling species.
Marathon is quite different from its neighbors to the east (Key 
Largo and Islamorada) in that the gulfside is deeper and more open, 
thus creating an entirely different style of bay fishing. Literally 
hundreds of natural ledges, wrecks and artificial reefs (made up of 
old lobster traps, drums and other wreckage) are scattered 
throughout the bay anywhere from 5 to 15 miles north of Marathon. 
These spots provide fast-action fishing of mangrove snapper, Spanish 
mackerel, and cobia. On a day when it's just too rough to fish 
offshore or on the reef, the bay works as an excellent alternative, 
as it's comfortable even in a stiff breeze. It's the perfect choice 
for family fun fishing.
Another exciting type of fishing, flats fishing, involves light-
tackle, sight casting to such gamesters as bonefish, permit and even 
tarpon, as they cruise the shallows in search of a meal. Light 
spinning or fly casting tackle is used to target wary gamefish that 
require a quiet approach and delicate cast.
For those who like to get off the beaten path and enjoy a wilderness 
fishing/sightseeing adventure, there is backcountry fishing. Just 
northwest of Marathon lies Great White Heron National Wildlife 
Refuge and to Marathon's northeast lies the expansive Everglades 
National Park. Trips into these areas are highlighted by beautiful 
scenery, plentiful bird life, and for the most part, superb fishing.

Regardless of the style of fishing you prefer it's wise to hire the 
services of a local licensed guide who knows the area and 
understands the movements and feeding habits of your quarry. There 
are many charter boats and captains available for private charter. 
Marathon is also home to a number of large party boats. Party boat 
fishing offers an angler a more economical means of enjoying a day 
of fishing. One party boat runs multi day, day trips to the Dry 
Tortugas. Seldom are reservations required.

For diving enthusiasts the Marathon area is especially rewarding, 
included in its attractions are:
Adelaide Baker - This historic shipwreck features a pair of huge 
stacks in only 25 feet of water, a vivid reminder of the days when 
steamships plied the Florida Keys.

Sombrero Reef - This traditional favorite of the Marathon dive 
portfolio is marked by a 140-foot lighted tower. Coral canyons and 
archways provide refuge for schools of grunt and snapper while 
solitary barracuda appear to stand sentinel.
Coffin's Patch - This is not a single reef but a conglomerate of six 
distinct patch reefs, each with a unique identity defined by a 
predominant coral species. For example, at Pillar Coral Patch dozens 
of intact pillar coral heads thrust their fuzzy polyps to snare 
passing nutrients. Snorkelers will especially appreciate the shallow 
elkhorn forests found throughout Coffin's Patch in less than 20 feet 
of water.

Delta Shoals - Here a vast network of coral canyons fan seaward from 
a sandy shoal, offering wonderful opportunities for both diving and 
snorkeling amid elkhorn, brain, and star coral heads.

The Thunderbolt - This 188-foot ship is the queen of the Marathon 
wreck fleet. Sunk intentionally as a dive attraction on March 3, 
1986, she now sits perfectly upright in 115 feet of water. Her 
superstructure is coated with colorful sponge, coral, and hydroid, 
providing refuge and sustenance to large angelfish, jacks, and a 
variety of deep-water pelagic creatures.

On Grassy Key at Mile Marker 59 you will find the Dolphin Research 
Center where you can swim with the dolphins or attend one of the 
many shows. In fact you can just see the Dolphin Center across the 
water from the peninsularhouse and many times you can hear them as 
they perform their jumps.
