Bluegreen’s Florida Keys resort, The Hammocks at Marathon, is located on the island of Marathon, just 50 miles north of Key West on U.S. 1. This popular Bluegreen resort features an on-site marina for fishing and boating charters, plus a waterfront pool, hot tub and Barnacle Barney’s Tiki Bar & Grill.
