Marathon is a city spread out over several islands and has become known for its beautiful beaches, and there are plenty of other things to do as well. The bountiful reefs that surround Marathon support an abundance of marine life making it popular among both diving and fishing enthusiasts. Visitors to Marathon can easily explore other parts of the Florida Keys since the islands are connected by Overseas Highway. If I were holidaying here, I would take some time off and visit the Dolphin Research Center to watch the stunning mammals in their natural habitat. You can also spend time at Seven Mile Bridge and take in the sweeping views of the blue ocean. Marathon also has a few great beach resorts. However, if you want to focus on having fun on your next vacation by availing of packages that will cover your food, transportation, and activities, read on to learn more about the top all-inclusive resorts near Marathon, Florida.

Unmissable beaches of Marathon

As an island destination, Marathon has a magnificent coastline and a couple of beaches that one must check out on their visit here. Here are a few of the most popular ones:

  • Sombrero Beach: Situated on the southwestern fringes of Marathon, Sombrero Beach is a beautiful stretch of sand that’s not only popular with humans but turtles as well. Loggerhead turtles come to nest here from April to October, however, much of the beach remains accessible to tourists even during peak nesting periods. The beach has complete handicap accessibility and offers picnic areas, volleyball courts, showers, and restrooms. It is open from 7 am to dusk and is a great place to watch the sunset.

  • Coco Plum Beach: Comparatively smaller and less crowded than Sombrero Beach, Coco Plum Beach is bound by greenery on one side and the ocean on the other. It’s also a popular nesting ground for turtles. The beach is open from 7:30 am until dusk.

Still searching for that perfect all-inclusive deal?

It’s difficult to zero in on an all-inclusive package that’s everything you dreamt of. However, it might be a good idea to compromise on a few inclusions, especially if you’re visiting a popular destination such as the Florida Keys on a long holiday. You might get bored of the inclusive activities, and anyway, the Keys provide the ideal landscape to go on a road trip, so why not adjust your itinerary to settle on a great all-inclusive package?
