My husband and I along with another couple are planning a trip to the Keys in October for late 10 and 11 anniversary trips. We are looking at staying in Marathon at Tranquilty Resort. Never been to the Keys. So any and all info would be greatly appreciated on must do's, best places to eat fine dining and beach bar type places. Also looking at doing a day trip to Key West. Please pass along any info that you think we may need in planning this trip! Thanks in advance!

You will like Tranquilty Bay, very nice. They have the Butterfly Cafe onsite more upscale $$$ and they do have a beach bar. The pool is beautiful. Restaurants in the area are: Sunset Grille, by 7 mile bridge, food ok but the view at sunset is spectacular. Just have a cocktail and enjoy the view. Lazy Days good food and a great happy hour. Salty's (bay side) go to the top and check out the view. Berdines great sandwiches!! These places are close to where you are staying. Everything is by mile marker here, Marathon starts about MM 55 and down. Coming into town you will see The Island Resturant , a huge tiki Resturant, touristy and over priced but nice view. You will see Key Colony..3 places in here . Sparkys (just ok) and Cabanna Breezes which is located on the ocean, very nice view reasonable prices. Key Colony Inn,very good but you only eat inside. We have a nice beach here called Sombrero Beach. We have 2 large grocery stores..Publix & Winn Dixie. You can get everything you want. Let me know what kind of food or things you have interest in doing while here <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Fantasy Fest is the end of Oct, first week of Nov is the Parrotheads and the boat races are Nov 7-10..... for the most part Marathon is not like Key West.

It COULD be chilly, but no way to know. The past two years, it seems that we have had some pretty good cold spells in December, here in Florida.

Yup, too right there, Irina! Living in Florida does mess with your perceptions of some things! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
