Overview
Beeville Municipal Airport (KBEA) is a public-use, non-towered field in Beeville, Texas, sitting at 273 feet elevation and handling a modest volume of business aviation traffic according to FAA TFMSC data. The airport's paved runway 12/30 stretches 4,553 feet, supplemented by a shorter turf runway, 18/36, for lighter operations. KBEA is unattended for most services but offers self-serve fuel, and customs clearance requires a stop at nearby KCRP rather than on-site processing.
