There are not many beaches in the keys . This one is real nice it has sand and clear water. We were staying at key largo where there are a couple of areas they call a beach which I would not call a beach. Marathon is an hour drive and it is worth driving to to find a real beach.

Absolutely perfect spot! Not too busy, plenty of parking, nice amenities, beautiful clear water. On our first day we did see lots of jellyfish but after looking them up, we found out they are moon jellyfish and not as dangerous as the Man-o-War that they have signs warning about.

We found this place during our trolley tour with Island Trolley Tours. This a great place to spend the day with kids of all ages! There is something to do for everyone. We spent the day there. Beautiful beach, very clean and they do have picnic tables so pack a lunch we did!

Rented a large vacation rental for the month in Marathon. The vacation rental had information on somethings to do. One was for Island Trolley Tours. The grannies wanted do the tour. We booked it for that afternoon. The plans my wife and I had made for this vacation went right out the window after taking the daily trolley tour! Most of our plans involved going to Key West we had no idea there was so much to do in Marathon. We rearranged our plans after taking the trolley. As the rest of the family trickled in we told them they needed to take the daily tour. They all came away the same way we did and planned their activities based on their experience on the trolley. I'm happy the grannies insisted we take the tour before the rest of the group came in. If you just arrived in Marathon take the daily tour - providing an overview of the activities and attractions available..

The best beach we found in all the keys. Even though it was crowded, the beach was big enough for everyone to have their little piece of paradise. Our golden retriever loved playing in the water and lounging under the palms. There is a $5/ hour parking fee but so worth it! Bathrooms are clean and plenty of showers to rinse off.

This was a beautiful beach; we went swimming during the day and back in the evening for the sunset. The seaweed had been removed, the water clarity was nice and if you go down to the end, around the corner there's a kayak launch and quieter area of the beach. We hope to go back and rent a house in this neighborhood - that's how much we loved the beach.

We went in January and stayed from 11am-2pm. Perfect times for us as the sun was shining and the beach was not as crowded. Its a great beach with multiple restrooms, volleyball courts and a small park. The Keys are not really beach towns, but this place was worth the visit when you want to relax on the beach.

Pretty public beach in Marathon. Easy to find. Take note of the 15mph speed limit and watch out for those speed humps. Beautiful beach to take a stroll or just chill. Too windy the day we were here, but check out the volley ball courts. Restrooms available.

Beautiful public beach. Clean large playground, great picnic tables, places with shade. Probably the best public beach in the area for swimming and relaxing. You have to pay for parking so if you can walk to the beach you should.

Narrow beach but nice white sand and nice restroom/changing areas. Parking is $5 per hour pay by card. A couple of palm trees for shade, so you better bring your own shade with you.
