If you are driving from Marco Island to Marathon you’d probably be driving through the western part of Dade County (Miami), going down either I-75 and FL Turnpike after getting across Alligator Alley or down Krome Ave if crossing via Tamiami Trail. Other than maybe Metro Zoo, I can’t think of much to see in a quick stop out west. If you plan to go to the eastern part of the county / downtown / Miami Beach but not stay overnight, you’ll need plenty of time for the ride from Marco Island, Miami activities (and traffic) and then the drive to Marathon. Try to avoid driving through Miami during rush hour.
