Airport Road stretches all the way from the terminal along the Lindbergh Bay to the intersection with Rt 30. You can take pictures with no problem either through the single fence or above it if you move higher up along the Airport Road. This spot is good in the morning as the sun is behind you. | Airport Road stretches all the way from the terminal along the Lindbergh Bay to the intersection with Rt 30.

===Brewer's Bay Road=== | |||
This is an excellent spot for afternoon takeoffs from both runways. It is located by the United States Virgin Islands University information booth and bus stop near the entrance to the university on the Brewer's Bay Road. You can park on the street and thanks to this place being on a little hill, you are above the airport fence and you get the wonderful Lindebergh Bay with palm trees as a background. | |||
