 The
Islands of Marathon offer a welcome respite from the
cares of everyday life with sunny days, sandy beaches
and fish filled waters.
Spend
some time on the beautiful Sombrero Beach at MM 50 with
a playground, restrooms and a picnic area or explore
the nature trails by the beach at Curry Hammock State
Park (MM 56.) Also enjoy the nature trails found at
Crane Point Museums & Nature Center (MM 50) that wind
all the way to Florida Bay and a small sunning beach.
Pigeon
Key at MM 47, accessible by the train known as "Henry,"
is the historical center for the construction of Henry
Flagler's railroad, and specifically the Seven-Mile
Bridge. Buildings and artifacts give life to bygone
history.
The
Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key have opportunities
to interact and even swim with dolphins.
