Best places to watch the sunset in Marathon?

[rockinrebel]

Hi everybody,
My wife and I are planning on being down in Marathon in October. I've always stayed and dove in Islamorada so I know a lot to the places to eat, have a drink at the end of the day etc there.
What about Marathon? We don't like fancy places. The more of a hole in the wall locals only place it is the better we like it. So:
Best restaurants?
Best place to have a drink and watch the sunset?
Any other cool must see things while we are there.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Here is short order list for ya :blinking:

Takara Japanese MM37 Everyone loves this place

bit pricey but not bad
Cracked Conch MM49 Good prices

No sunset

Keys Fisheries Market & Marina MM35

I eat there when I am down that way and I also bring my friends from out of town. On the water nice place to hang out Sunsets on water

Island Fish Company MM48 also a great place to eat and on the water my kids love feeding the fish

Prices are good as well sunsets on water

Castaways Key Colony good food but more partying going on for my taste.

Try getting there before 8pm on water no sunsets

Hurricane Grill MM46 good place to swing in and enjoy the Keys life Good food and nice people hang out there.

on canal no sunset

Barracuda Grill MM42 is the same above lots of locals and tall tales Good food

on canal no sunset

Annette's Lobsters MM36 Prices are very high but he food is ok not great but ok. I think your supposed to enjoy being in a big dark room with big fish looking at you on the walls.

No sunset

There is also one as you are coming into Marathon on your right B/S just before the red light at Key Colony. I have eaten there a few times good place and on the water but cannot for the life of me remember the name something Island Maybe Island Grill? Good place to eat and not bad on the prices.
I hope this helps

We did Marathon in October 2 years ago. Dinner at the Island Fish Company was great for food and sunset. Try the Key West Pale Ale.

I hear Frostys has a nice sunset. Good food and view nonetheless
