Marathon, a community in the Florida Keys, is being highlighted by Southern Living as a getaway for travelers seeking beaches, snorkeling and luxury resorts.

The destination’s appeal centers on its marine setting: visitors can spend time on local beaches, explore underwater areas while snorkeling and look for marine wildlife. Those options make Marathon a fit for Florida Keys trips built around time on and in the water.

Southern Living also points to luxury resorts as part of Marathon’s vacation offerings, giving travelers an accommodation option alongside the area’s outdoor experiences.
