Marathon, Florida Restaurants

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." The city boasts an airport, homey resorts, luxury accommodations, numerous restaurants, ample shopping and all the conveniences of a modern community, including a hospital. Marathoners have modernized their community without losing their roots as a 19th-century fishing village.

Marathon, Florida restaurants specialize in seafood, of course.  You're in one of the best fishing regions of the world, and you'll never enjoy more succulent, flavorful fish than in the many fine seafood restaurants, including Barracuda Grill, Seven Mile Grill, and Fish Tales.  In addition, you'll find steakhouses, ethnic food restaurants and the usual franchises.  From peel-and-eat shrimp enjoyed in a dock setting, to the most elegant continental cuisine served by candlelight under the palms, you'll find the full range of Marathon, Florida restaurants.  

Whatever you're dining on, these Marathon, Florida restaurants know the food always tastes better when you are R-E-L-A-X-E-D, and the Keys setting is the best stress release you'll find.  So kick back in your sandals and shorts, enter "island mode," and savor the bounty of land and sea while you watch the setting sun and ocean waves.

Be sure to check out Marathon, Florida vacation rentals by owner houses, villas and condos for luxurious, yet affordable accomodations - many times less than the cost of a cramped, stuffy, less-than-clean hotel room.
