Six miles offshore in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary you will find the wreck of the Spiegel Grove, a 510-foot Navy ship intentionally scuttled in June 2002 as the backbone for a new coral reef. Locals consider Key Largo to be the Diving Capital of the World, but the island is nearly as famous as a sport-fishing destination.

Marathon is also home to the Dolphin Research Center and the Turtle Hospital, which are working to preserve two of Floridas most famous marine creatures.
