About Us

Event schedule and activities at Marathon Elks Lodge.
Event schedule and activities at Marathon Elks Lodge.

Perched along the Overseas Highway in Marathon, FL, Elks Lodge 2139 is the kind of place where a stranger becomes a regular after one visit. The waterfront RV sites fill up fast for good reason: wake up on the water, walk to breakfast, and spend the day with people who genuinely enjoy each other's company. With a 4.6-star rating across 72 reviews, the members here have built something that speaks for itself.

The Lodge hosts casino nights, Sunday buffet breakfasts, and a rotating calendar of events that keep things lively year-round. The bar is friendly, the food is honest, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd hope to find 50 miles out into the Florida Keys. This isn't a stuffy clubhouse. It's a gathering spot where the gulf breeze rolls through and someone always knows your name.

As a chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge 2139 also carries a tradition of community service that stretches back well over a century nationally. Locally, that means real support for veterans, youth programs, and neighbors who need a hand.

What We Offer

Lodge 2139 runs a full bar open to members and eligible guests, with the relaxed, no-pretense energy that fits the Keys perfectly. The Sunday breakfast buffet draws regulars who drive in from neighboring islands, and the quality keeps them coming back week after week.

Casino nights are a Lodge highlight, with friendly competition, good food, and an atmosphere that reviewers consistently call fun and welcoming. Beyond the events, the Lodge offers waterfront RV camping exclusively for Elks members, making it one of the most sought-after overnight stops along the Overseas Highway corridor.

Membership opens the door to all of it: the events calendar, the camping privileges, the dining, and the broader network of Elks lodges across the country. Whether you're a longtime Elk passing through the Keys or a Marathon local looking for a community worth joining, Lodge 2139 has a seat for you.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
