On way up to Marathon….. This is on Marathon…Turtle Hospital is a must do. We have been 2 or 3 times because of MrsHarb. It truly is awesome what they do with rescue turtles from boat strikes, net entanglements and really everything else. Stock Island, Hogfish Bar and Grill. Gotta have a hogfish sandwich. It’s close and a no-brainer. Cudjoe Key, Square Grouper. Really good place to eat No Name Pub on Big Pine….also a must stop if in the area. If you want to venture more in the Marathon / Islamorada areas, let me know, I can give you many restaurant recommendations. The above ones just stick out for us. As for Key West since it was during Covid and everything was really fuked up. None of the just big bars were open and we had to order fries if we sat down at any bar. The trolly tour was good and we liked the Island Dogs bar for a quick bite. We also ate at Two Friends across the street for breakfast a couple of times and liked it., plus free parking in back if open when we were there. The Butterfly House was also a favorite of MrsHarb. The flamingos that were rescued and in the house are really cool. You can do a close encounter with Rhett & Scarlett… As OB said, the Bight area is definitely less touristy but again, we were there during Covid. Lots of places to eat fresh seafood or find someone to take you fishing.
