Alexander Bay Airport — Alexander Bay, South Africa

Alexander Bay Airport sits at a low 98 feet above sea level at Alexander Bay, on South Africa's remote northwestern coast where the Orange River meets the Atlantic Ocean, its three runways notably more than most airports serving towns of similar size in this thinly populated corner of the Northern Cape. Alexander Bay sits right at the border with Namibia, in a stretch of coastline historically associated with diamond mining. A direct flight to Cape Town is what this isolated mining town gains from the field, replacing what would otherwise be an extremely long coastal drive.
