🇺🇸 Big Pine Sands STOLGround Airport

Limited verifiable public information is available for an airfield specifically identified as "Big Pine Sands STOLGround (US-12783 (XFT))" in Big Pine Key, Florida.

While there is a "Sands Subdivision" residential area in Big Pine Key, it is not identified as an airport.

Historically, an unpaved private airstrip known as Ed Barry's Airstrip existed on Big Pine Key in the 1950s. It was depicted with a 2,600-foot unpaved runway on the January 1953 Miami Sectional Chart. This airstrip was associated with a fishing camp and appeared to be unpaved limestone gravel and sand fill. Ed Barry's Airstrip was reportedly closed between 1952 and 1955. It is possible "Big Pine Sands STOLGround" is an informal reference to such a private, personal-use facility, or a very small, unlisted strip with limited official records.
