The airport only has one runway in fair conditions.
The last time I checked it also had a VOR/DME or GPS
02 approach but that cannot be used at night (the runway
is not lighted).

Overview
Tangier Island airport is located on the West edge of
the island with the end of runway 20 on the beach (after
a few additional feet of runway overrun). As you can
see on the aerial view, the airport is walking distance
to anywhere on the island (even though bikes or golf
carts can be rented).
