Families often find these months ideal for a spring break getaway, taking full advantage of the calm, clear waters and abundant outdoor activities.

As an alternative, October offers a distinct charm for a beach hotel stay.

But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Marathon?
While Marathon is well-known for its beautiful waters, the best beach activities centre around enjoying its clear, warm seas and marine life.

For families, Sombrero Beach is a fantastic choice. It's one of the largest public beaches in Marathon, featuring soft sand, picnic areas, and a playground, making it ideal for a day out with children. The shallow, calm waters are great for paddling, and you'll often see families building sandcastles and enjoying the sun.

Couples looking for a more secluded experience might prefer a kayaking or paddleboarding adventure through the mangrove channels, particularly those accessible from Curry Hammock State Park. This offers a chance to explore the natural marine environment quietly, often spotting various birds and fish in their natural habitat. Many local rental shops offer equipment and guidance for these excursions.

For anyone interested in marine life, snorkelling or diving at the Sombrero Reef Marine Sanctuary is a must. This protected area, located a few miles offshore, is home to vibrant coral formations and a diverse array of fish.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Marathon as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Marathon for you.
