Placed in the steep hills above the Brewer's Bay, the Black Point Overlook provides a good view of the airport terminal and runway extending into the ocean. Photos taken from here give you a nice perspective on an airport in the middle of the Carribean. Although you can view the aircraft take off and land from here as well, the overlook is too far from the runway to let you take good shots of the aircraft. Even if you have a long lens (300mm+), the heat haze prevents quality photography. | Placed in the steep hills above the Brewer's Bay, the Black Point Overlook provides a good view of the airport terminal and runway extending into the ocean. Photos taken from here give you a nice perspective on an airport in the middle of the Carribean.

Even if you have a long enough lens (300mm+), the heat haze usually prevents quality photography. | ||
The Overlook is right off the Route 30 about a 10 minute drive from the airport. There is a place to park and also a shaded bench to sit down. | The Overlook is right off the Route 30 about a 10 minute drive from the airport.
