Coco Plum Beach — Attraction in Marathon

Here you will find the perfect place to spend a wonderful time with us, the Doggos. Don't complain about sargassum and its particular smell, it's part of nature.

If you see glass, or trash, you can do something about it, one at a time, it's always a good day to do something for Mother Nature. There are some old benches put up by the locals, please do not move them, they can break, respect the harmony of the place as it is.

You can see some varieties of birds, on one occasion my human and I saw manatees from the shore, the vegetation is wonderful, you will see all kinds of snails and sea shells.

The water is sometimes crystal clear, sometimes not, it all depends on the weather, the only thing you need is to have a good attitude to enjoy this peaceful place.

Always remember:

Beauty is always present, in the right eyes. If you get here, take care of Coco Plum Beach, because this place has a unique essence.

“For us, a day here restores our soul, walking on the beach is never a waste of time, Coco Plum Beach is not a place, it is a feeling, it is the definitive cure for a bad day, and to recharge you with positive energy . "Anyway, for us it is simply perfect, our happy place."

"I'm always happy and my name is Happy or Happy the Fluffy." Woff!...

This is a nice beautiful beach as part of Marathon city in the keys with free parking access. The beach is almost one mile long total and is made out very nice white powder sand when I was there was absolutely no seaweed in the water : that is because the wind was from the north for the past couple of days.

While I was there Greg from Beach Raker: was there with its machine to remove all of the residual seaweed‘s on the beach, and he is doing that three times a week approximately.

The beach is Dog friendly!

The place is really clean there is approximately 20 parking spaces it is open from sunrise to Sunset and there is two very clean toilets ( with paper) with disabilities compliance, and one external shower plus one covered picnic area with three tables!

Also the beach is composed of a very nice widely spread Hammock type vegetation with lots of shade to be naturally found : no need to bring any parasol in there.

In all for me this was the perfect beach experience in the keys! If I could I would be here every day of the winter!

Boat my wife and I are doing kite serve and this is one of the greatest spot if not the greatest spot in the keys to start a kite by a south component wind!

I highly advise people to come and spend...

Love Coco Plum Beach!....My go to beach, Sometimes you find quite a bit of sea grass, its not maintained like Sombrero Beach, but..it has little nooks along the way to sit in the shade, giving a little private feel. Nature trail you can explore to the left side of entrance to the beach ..great photos of wildlife. Quite a bit of dead trees from Hurricane Irma still line the lower end...also great photos....Great area for wind surfing on windy days... Very shallow..you can walk way out..especiallt at low tide.. .Only negative I have...it can be very mucky, not a lot of sand out in the water...lots of old trash over the years always washes there...have found alot of broken glass and pottery..great area though for craft treasures...but.water shoes are highly recommended!....This beach does have 2 restrooms at entrance and a small rinse off area on the side of building, has 2 tables with thatch covering, also at entrance, none on the beach area...no grills either This beach is dog friendly, and is open...
