We visited the Sea Turtle Hospital in Marathon Key.  According to the Florida Keys website:  The Turtle Hospital is a world-renowned, non-profit veterinary center entirely dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of endangered sea turtles. Founded in 1986, it stands out as the world's first state-licensed veterinary hospital built specifically for sea turtles. Visitors can only see the resident patients by booking an official, behind-the-scenes guided tour, which helps directly fund their vital marine conservation work.

For lunch, we stopped at Irie Island Eats, a local Marathon Key joint featured on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives in 2021.
