Always wanted to swim with dolphins? Then the Dolphin
Research Center is a great place to do it. Located on Grassy Key, the center one of the most respected institutions that
study and protect the mammals.
Visitors can also participate in other
forms of dolphin interaction. Pigeon Key is an intriguing
historical site that has been under renovation since late 1993. Located
below the Old Seven Mile Bridge, it was a housing and maintenance depot
during the construction of Flagler's railroad and had around 400 people
living there at its peak occupancy in the period 1908-1912.

 After the
1935 hurricane that demolished the railroad, Pigeon Key housed the
workers who converted the railroad to vehicle bridges.
Above all else,
Marathon and Islamorada are renowned for the
fishing and attract anglers from all
over the world to come to battle with the tarpon, sailfish and bonefish
that are found in these waters.
