Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport, Saba Island

To get to this naturally beautiful Caribbean island can be quite an experience, since this airport is really nothing more than a 1,300-foot-long runway. Surrounded by high cliffs, this dangerously short runway, which would make an amazing spot for BMX or skateboard competitions, comes dangerously close to a steep slope that leads directly to the ocean. As one can easily understand large planes aren’t landing there for a reason, but the small runway is difficult even for Cessnas’ aircraft and others.
