Islamorada

The Florida Keys remain closed to visitors until further notice, following directives from local government officials based on concerns about U.S. coronavirus threats.

Increasingly concerned about the coronavirus crisis, Florida Keys government officials have established two traffic checkpoints at the top of the Keys that restrict non-residents’ inbound road access.

Florida Keys officials have temporarily closed the destination to visitors until further notice due to coronavirus concerns. Throughout the 125-mile-long island chain, lodging businesses and tourism-related entities — including hotels, attractions, beaches, fishing piers, boat ramps and parks — are temporarily closed.

Divers and snorkelers can support a Florida Keys charity while they “egg-splore” the clear, warm waters off Islamorada during the annual Underwater Easter Egg Hunt set for Sunday, April 12.

Anglers have until just before midnight March 11, 2020 (ET), to enter the “Northernmost to Southernmost Fishing Trip Giveaway” and vie to win a two-destination vacation that includes overnight stays and recreational angling in Lake of Woods, Minnesota, and the Florida Keys.

Islamorada is expanding the hours of its alternative transportation services with Freebee Islamorada, operating on-call electric vehicles to transport passengers among Islamorada’s four islands.

Live musical performers representing Americana, blues, rock, funk and other genres are to entertain audiences from midday into the evening Sunday, April 5, at Islamorada’s Bay Jam 26.

Anglers can enter to win a two-destination vacation to fish freshwater and saltwater species in the “Northernmost to Southernmost Fishing Trip Giveaway” that spotlights recreational angling in Lake of the Woods, Minnesota, and the Florida Keys.

Though they might have a subtropical island atmosphere, the Florida Keys & Key West off the southern tip of the Florida mainland are easily accessible for meetings and groups.

For visitors to and residents of Islamorada, springtime means heading outdoors to enjoy balmy subtropical weather and the 29th annual Florida Keys Island Fest, scheduled Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29.
