Kenton-on-Sea Airport is a small general aviation airstrip serving the coastal village of Boesmansriviermond and the Kenton-on-Sea area on South Africa's Eastern Cape.

There are no dining facilities at the airstrip itself. The nearby village of Kenton-on-Sea offers a handful of casual restaurants and coffee shops serving fresh seafood and local fare. Boesmansriviermond and surrounding areas are best explored with self-catering provisions or by dining in the village.
- Confirm airstrip conditions and fuel availability well in advance as facilities are very limited.
- The area experiences coastal fog in the mornings — plan flight arrivals for mid-morning or afternoon.
- A pre-arranged vehicle is essential as there is no public transport linking the airstrip to the village.
- Check NOTAM and local pilot briefings as the strip is not staffed and operates on a self-service basis.
