Florida Keys & Key West – New Airlift, Resorts and Outdoor Experiences

Vehicular traffic on the Florida Keys Overseas Highway is extremely light Tuesday, March 24, 2020, in Islamorada, Fla. The subtropical island destination is temporarily closed to visitors until further notice due to the coronavirus crisis, according to local officials. Tourism is the Keys’ top industry, employs about half of the region’s workforce and generates almost $2 billion annually for the area’s economy. (Andy Newman/Florida Keys News Bureau/HO)

The Florida Keys & Key West are experiencing an active spring with added airlift into Key West, new accommodations that include overnight Airstream campers for fun with family and friends, and outdoor experiences that include the launch of Islamorada’s first coral dive and transplant activities.

New nonstop flights to Key West International Airport are scheduled in June from Nashville, Tennessee — home to a variety of country artists with musical ties and connections to the annual Key West Songwriters Festival — and from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and greater Cincinnati, Ohio.

Meanwhile, mask mandates continue. In Key West, masks are mandated everywhere outside of a lodging establishment or residence.

Throughout the Keys — and outside the city of Key West — everyone must carry a facial covering for immediate wear inside businesses and outdoors when 6 feet of social distancing is not possible. Masks may be removed for eating or drinking.
