This live camera looks out over the Grassy Flats Resort beach in Marathon, a town in the middle of the Florida Keys. It is useful for checking the sea and sky before a trip or simply for watching the water move. The page also shows local time and the weather forecast for the area.
Marathon sits roughly halfway along the Overseas Highway that links the Florida Keys, on Vaca Key. The island chain is low and flat, with shallow turquoise water on both sides of the road and a warm, humid atmosphere most of the year. Marathon is known as a base for boating, diving and fishing, and its harbour and backcountry waters are part of the wider Keys reef system. The town has a relaxed, outdoors character that suits the beach setting.
The camera shows a beach setting, so the view changes with the tide, wind and cloud. Calm mornings often bring clear, glassy water, while afternoons can bring stronger breezes and building clouds, especially in summer. Sunrise and late afternoon are the times many viewers like best for colour on the water. Depending on the view, you may also see boats moving along the shore or birds over the flats.
Marathon has a tropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild, drier winters, which makes the period from late autumn to spring popular with visitors. Hurricane season runs from June to November, so it is wise to check forecasts before travelling in late summer and early autumn. Getting around usually means a car, since the Keys are linked by a single highway. Other cameras in the area cover the Crane Point Museum, Boot Key Harbor, Sombrero Beach and Faro Blanco.
