Dorado Beach Airport serves Dorado, PR.
Dorado Airport (DDP), also known as Dorado Beach Airport (PR-0012), was a small, single-runway airport in Dorado, Puerto Rico. It was originally built for pioneer aviator Clara Livingston, and Amelia Earhart may have used the facility. The United States military paved the runway during World War II, and later, airlines like Caribair (which became part of Eastern Air Lines) and Dorado Wings (later Crown Air) operated flights from the airport.
The airport officially closed in the early 1990s, with some sources indicating it closed shortly after 1982. The land was rezoned in 1996, and construction began on a master-planned community called Dorado Beach East. By 2002, the runway was removed and replaced by housing, though a miniature commemorative runway segment and a museum dedicated to Clara Livingston were later constructed on the site.
