Marathon
The city of Marathon, set on 13 islands in the Florida Keys, boasts some of the best boating activities anywhere, including deep-sea, reef or flats fishing.
Add to that waterfront restaurants, plus jet-ski tours, kayaking, paddle-boarding -- or just cruising the turquoise waters.
In Marathon, you can interact with dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center, feed stingrays at Aquarium Encounters, see and learn to appreciate sea turtles at the Turtle Hospital, get back to nature and history at Crane Point Hammock and Nature Trail and Curry Hammock State Park, or tour the area's railroad history at Pigeon Key Island.
