  • Barra Airport ?

    A beach runway that changes according to the tides. Also known as "Cockle Strand"

    .....from the song "Molly Malone" who wheeled her wheelbarrow selling "cockles and mussels alive, alive oh."

    • For you sir, too easy. But it was so attractive and unique.

      • Unique in a particular way, this is an International Airport built in 1984.

              No.

              If you stay at a particular hotel they'll pick you up at the aircraft in a golf buggy.

              • Could one get stung there by a jellyfish. An angry jellyfish? Men "of war" on the beach.

                Seals on the beach?

                Topical and tropical?

                Maurice Bishop on Grenada?

                  1. Not Australia if that's what you're thinking.
                  2. Not as far as I know.
                  3. No recent news springs to mind although their neighbours had a BIG shock last year.
                  4. No.

                  Owners are planning to expand the airport, by adding a new Control Tower, a new terminal with more gates, as well as another runway.

                  • La Palma, Canary Islands?

                    One friends "parting shot" in the military was on the friendly beaches of Grenada. That was why I was having a bit of fun with the Portuguese Man of War (jellyfish) and on the beach comments and I believe that was the site of one of the SEAL's tragic events wasn't it?

                    • Not La Palma.

                      It's an International Airport but the unique part revolves around how it is run.

                                Even if it is not, it is pretty neat on Google Earth. It looks like they are construction a new runway and if you look at each end you can see the faint grey trace of the arresting blocks in place in the bed.
