Before you step into serenity at Tranquility Bay Resort, put your vacation checklist together with our top tips on what to bring for an unforgettable stay at our tropical retreat:
Dress for Summer
Summer gear is a must! The temperatures may be cooling down on the mainland, but you’ll be surrounded by warm air and balmy breezes across the island chain, so come prepared with flip flops, sunglasses, swimsuits, shorts, and light layers. The evenings will become cooler as November nears, so bring a light jacket and warmer shoes to stay comfortable after sunset.
Stay Safe in the Sun
Sun cream will still need to be applied through the fall months, particularly if you’re planning a day-long boat trip. Stay safe during the day with a sun hat, glasses and cream, then soothe your skin in the evenings with plenty of cooling aloe.
Prepare for Picture-Perfect Moments
Don’t forget your camera to capture your memories in Marathon… and tease those social media likes! With so many picture-perfect places and stunning sunsets to soak up, you’ll want to treasure the moment and frame it forever – no filter needed.
Arrive Hungry
An appetite for feasting on the fresh flavors of Florida is essential! Whether it’s a leisurely beachside lunch at TJ’s Tiki Bar, or a special seafood dinner after sunset at Butterfly Café, our advice is to arrive hungry at Tranquility Bay. From tropical salads to coconut shrimp, our delicious dining is best accompanied with an island cocktail and completed with a slice of our legendary Key lime pie.
Release Your Wild Side
You’ll need a good dose of adventure in the Keys to help you explore the range of activities and attractions onsite and nearby. Whether you choose to glide through the Gulf of Mexico on a paddleboard, splash out on a kayak, dive among colorful coral, or relax on an offshore fishing trip, allow your adventurous spirit to thrive in the Florida Keys.
