The kids will be clamoring for key lime pie, so give it to ‘em: Manny & Isa’s Kitchen (305-664-5019, www.mannyandisas.com) just might have the best. After lunch, make a quick trip to Robbie’s Marina (305-664-9814, www.robbies.com) to feed the tarpons at the end of the dock before heading to Grassy Key’s Dolphin Research Center (305-289-0002, www.dolphins.org). Here, families can hang out with the dolphins for just the right amount of time in the new Dolphin Dip class (and kids under 3 are free). It’s just one of many spots in the Keys where you can interact with dolphins. When you get to Marathon, recharge at the Cracked Conch Café (305-743-CAFÉ, www.conchcafe.com), where locals go for fresh snapper. Nearby Crane Point (305-743-9100, www.cranepoint.net) has nature trails, touch tanks and a natural history museum where kids can learn all about the Keys and clamber aboard a re-created 17th-century pirate ship. Marathon’s Sombrero Beach (305-292-4560) is accessible and pet-friendly, with a playground, fishing pier and water with a soft, sandy bottom for wading. Best of all? Pristine picnic pavilions.
