Rock Sound Airport (MYER/RSD) is a single-runway aerodrome on South Eleuthera in the Bahamas, serving as one of the principal gateways to the southern half of the island. Its one long, lit hard-surface runway and lack of instrument approach aids make it a straightforward VFR destination for visiting pilots.
Rock Sound Airport, identified as MYER (IATA: RSD), lies on South Eleuthera in the Bahamas and functions as a gateway for travellers heading to the settlements, resorts and fishing lodges of the southern part of the island. It is a medium-sized field by Bahamian standards, offering scheduled domestic flights as well as private and general aviation traffic, and its single generously long runway makes it a comfortable and interesting VFR stop for simulator pilots exploring the Out Islands.
The airport sits in South Eleuthera, just north of the settlement of Rock Sound itself, and roughly 6.3 miles south of Tarpum Bay. Its coordinates place it at approximately 24.89 degrees north, 76.18 degrees west, at a field elevation of 10 feet above mean sea level.
Rock Sound has one physical runway, 09/27, orientated almost exactly east-west. It is 7,215 feet long with a hard surface and is lit, giving ample length for a wide range of aircraft types. There is no ILS installed at the field.
The published frequency for Rock Sound is 122.8 MHz, operating as a UNICOM service rather than a staffed air traffic control frequency. Pilots should expect to self-announce and coordinate with other traffic on this frequency, as there is no instrument landing system or other precision navaid at the field.
The airport lies immediately north of the Rock Sound settlement, making the town itself a useful visual reference for pilots approaching from the south. Tarpum Bay, about 6.3 miles to the north along the coast, serves as a landmark for those arriving from that direction, with the runway lying between the two settlements close to the coastline of South Eleuthera.
Rock Sound Airport continues to support both scheduled domestic services linking South Eleuthera with Nassau and other Bahamian destinations, and general aviation activity including private flights. Odyssey Aviation maintains a presence at the field, supporting private and business aviation operations for visitors to South Eleuthera.
