So I am over on A'Net looking at pictures of SXM, day dreaming about drinking a beer oh Sunset beach when it dawns on me, there has to be other places in the world with this set up.

I remember there is an airport in Greece ? that has a runway that with a beach at the end, does anyone know of any others ?

Ahh for another trip to SXM. I hear the Sunset Beach bar has (or is about to) close down due to condo developement. I don't think anywhere can be quite as close to the edge as SXM - when I showed some of my pics to some friends they were convinced I'd been up to no good with Photoshop!

Surely the best beach front airport has to be Barra[:D] Saying that Scrooge's 40th birthday bash on SXM seems the place to be in 2010. I'm savin hard already

The initial footage was taken while still actually at the bar. For a titter wait till the end - my voice is not usually so high pitched!

Hope this works

Ok, It's not strictly beach front, but there are a couple of beautiful beaches at the end of the BDA runway. Does that count?

Isn't SLU (as opposed to UVF) right on the beach?

Not really, it sits on the bay, no real beach there.

LAX ends at a beach, pretty much. At least the property of LAX does if not an actual runway...

What about Barra in the Outer Hebrides where the runway IS the beach
