Great little airport. Runways and taxiways are in great condition. The signs leave a little to be desired and the map doesn't show taxiways. So take it slow and get your bearings. Good food at the diner and you can eat outside on the deck. The deck is right next to airplane and vehicle parking and the threshold of Runway 21. Lots of antique planes on display. Beach parking is at the end of 21. Park the plane, walk across the road, and your on the beach.

My first time going here (today) and I will be back time and time again! Wow...This is a step back in history. What an amazing place. You land on the turf (and its great turf. Well maintained), you taxi right to the beach, then you grab a bite in the airport diner and fly home. Does it get better? Anyone complaining about the landing fees should think again. These are the places that are worth giving money to. 5 bucks for a quick in/out land, or 15 for half day, or 25 for full day. Fully worth it! Great experience.This is my new favorite airfield. Katama - I love you.

First time at Katama and fist time landing on a grass strip. Only 45 min flight from BED. Landed runway 6. Runways and taxiways in great shape. Could see airport 15 miles out, but runways are harder to see, the ends are marked with small white paving blocks indictaing #'s and displaced thresholds. Runways 3 and 6 meet so you can pick either on final. Landed at 11am departed at 3pm. Paid airport mgt total of $10, friendly staff. Whosies was open and busy but elected to go downtown to eat. Took bus #8 into Edgartown, $1/each way, 10 min ride. Short walk from bus to waterfront. Good clams and chowder at clam stand near pavillion with picnic tables. Departed at 3pm, runway 21 with climbing left turn back to BED. Great sight seeing of Chappaquitick and if you look closely there is a recently run a ground fising trawler on the suoth side of th island just east of Katama. All in all a great day, will be back.
