Berra Airport in Scotland is one of the most spectacular and beautiful
airports in the world, it's also one of it's kind. What makes this
airport so unique is that planes land simply on the beach. During
low-tide there are three runways. Marked with wooden poles at each end
and at night car lights and reflective strips laid on to the beach help
the pilots land. The Traigh Mhor or the bay where the airport is was
famous for its cockles until aircraft started to use the beach on 14
June 1933. Even today the beach is open for public, only a windsock
indicates weather an aircraft is coming and the beach should be cleared
out. But don't be fooled Berra Airports has the same regulations as any
airport in the world has, and safety is as important there as in any
airport.
