Did you know that Summerland Key has its very own private airport? Stretching 2,394 feet between hangar homes both old and new, the strip is owned by 15 private shareholders, offering annual, monthly, and weekly licenses for residents and visitors.
Designed by the Hudgins family in the mid 1900s, this little airport is a staple of the Lower Keys!
I'm lucky enough to know someone who stores his plane on this island and uses the airport services on a regular basis. This video is a quick snippet of us flying over the runway. Thank you, Kip!
The Summerland Key Airport is also utilized by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office rescue helicopters (TraumaStar) and the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District (FKMCD) for emergency operations.
