I recently stayed in Marathon during my visit to the Florida Keys, but spent a considerable amount of time in Islamorada, as it’s nearby and offers many fun activities.
In this article, we’ll look at some of my top recommended things to do in Islamorada, Florida. Let’s explore!
Florida Keys Brewing Co
One of my favorite stops in Islamorada is the Florida Keys Brewing Company!
This local brewery is known as the best in the Florida Keys and is known for its tasty craft beers and drinks.
The Florida Keys Brewery has live music to enjoy while having a drink on the outdoor patio.
Grab some food at the taco food truck and relax with these laid-back Keys vibes!
They also have an art shop in the back where you can purchase some artwork and candles.

Robbie’s Marina
Robbie’s Marina is a great place for families to visit! We brought my girlfriend’s kids with us to the marina for a fun afternoon in Islamorada.
The highlight of Robbie’s Marina is feeding the tarpon on the docks, which is super cool, and all of the kids loved doing this.
Robbie’s Marina also has a restaurant and outdoor shops to explore.
You can stay longer and participate in watersports here, with the marina offering kayak and paddleboard rentals, as well as boat tours.

Annie’s Beach
If you’re looking for a beach to spend the day at just relaxing on the sand, you’ll be disappointed with Annie’s Beach.
In that case, I would recommend Bahia Honda State Park in Marathon.
Annie’s Beach has a small beach area where the water is calm and shallow.
The beach is good for spotting crabs and small fish in the water, and is known for kiteboarding.
The beach is pet-friendly, and there is a really nice boardwalk for getting out in nature and enjoying the views.
There are also several pavilions along the boardwalk, where you can enjoy a picnic.
The area waters are great for kayaking and paddleboarding.

Theater Of The Sea
Another perfect place for a day trip with the family in Islamorada is Theater Of The Sea!
With general admission, there are several different shows to watch. You’ll see dolphins, parrots, and sea lions showing off their skills to the crowd of spectators.
The kids will love playing at the lagoon side beach. There are also boat rides and a tour where you’ll see marine life, including crocodiles, sea turtles, sharks, and colorful fish.
You can also upgrade and get more interactive experiences, such as swimming with dolphins, sharks, and stingrays.
Grab lunch at Papa’s Grill and bring home a souvenir from the gift shop before you leave.

Islamorada Alligator Reef & Sandbar Tour
If you’re looking for an adventure on the water while in Islamorada, then you should consider the Alligator Reef & Sandbar Tour!
This half-day private tour brings you and your group to explore the Alligator Reef Lighthouse, a historic stop in the Atlantic.
The captain will also take you to the Islamorada sandbar, which is a popular spot where boats anchor down and spend the day, and party.
