The first 500-ft. of the westerly end is paved with concrete and the remainder of the runway with asphaltic concrete, Asphaltic concrete paved turnaround areas, and 150 x 300~ft. concrete blast pads adjoin both ends. A 900-ft. long stabilized overrun area joins the easterly blast pad and continues easterly to the shoreline. The runwayis lighted with frangible type lights. Traffic lights at each end control vehicular movement across the runway. Visual glide indicators are provided for approaches from the west.
