Marathon · Key Colony Beach · Islamorada
Local Restaurants
From dockside fish shacks to waterfront dining, the Florida Keys has some of the best seafood and local flavor in the country. Here are our favorites near the retreat.
A Marathon institution. Order the lobster Reuben at the outdoor counter, grab a cold one, and eat on the docks while the pelicans beg for scraps. Doesn't get more Keys than this.
Casual waterfront spot right on the marina. Fresh fish sandwiches, cold beer, and a laid-back Keys vibe. Great for lunch after a morning on the water.
Waterfront dining with fresh local catch and great sunset views over the Gulf. A solid choice for a nicer dinner out without leaving Marathon.
BBQ and seafood right on the bay. Laid-back atmosphere, big portions, and a great spot to watch the sunset with a cold drink in hand.
Cabana Club Restaurant & Bar
$$Right on the property — exclusive to Cabana Club members and guests. Cold drinks, casual bites, and the best pool-and-beach combo in Key Colony Beach. Included with your stay.
The Stuffed Pig
$The best breakfast spot in Marathon. Cash only, no-frills diner with massive portions and a line out the door on weekends. Worth every minute of the wait.
Sparky's Landing
$$Waterfront tiki bar and grill with live music on weekends. Cold beer, fresh fish tacos, and a great sunset view. A local favorite for happy hour.
