Sattelite image of the airfield.
Sandy Shores Airfield is a regional airport located in the Grand Senora Desert, southwest of Sandy Shores, in Blaine County.
The airfield contains a hangar big enough for one airplane, a helipad, and a small control tower. A Globe Oil gas station called Flywheels is located at the airfield, but it is not interactive. The Lost MC used to own this airfield, but it was taken over by Trevor Philips Enterprises.
When playing as Trevor, planes and helicopters purchased from the Elitas Travel website, helicopters and Rhinos ordered from the Warstock Cache & Carry website, or aircraft that the player has landed will be stored in the hanger or helipad.
For owners of the Special and Collectors Edition, the Stunt Plane Trials can be found at this airfield. The player can trigger them by entering the Mallard in front of the smaller hangar.
Description

The airfield consists of three runways, two large parallel runways that run east to west and a smaller runway that runs northeast to southwest. The runways are large enough to land any plane, but the hangar is too small to store aircraft larger than the Shamal.
| Runway No. | Approx. Length |
|---|---|
| 26L | 0.4 Miles |
| 26R | 0.3 Miles |
| 23 | 0.2 Miles |
