- Pigeon
Key: A Historic pioneer village. Only Seven
(7) Miles South on an island in the middle of the
Seven Mile Bridge. Great Safe place to go Roller Blading
or Biking on the old bridge. See schools of tarpon
and giant rays swimming below. Awesome sunsets from
here. One of my favorite places to visit with
my family in Marathon. No cars allowed on the
old bridge. VERY Important tip! The parking
lot for the old seven mile bridge is a very small
lot just before the new seven mile bridge. If
you miss it it's a 16 mile round trip mistake.
Just enjoy the seven mile bridge going south and then
back north and don't miss it again.
