Surfside Beach, the stretch of beach immediately west of the airport, offers some very interesting unofficial spotting possibilities.
First of all, directly bordering the roundabout at the edge of the airport, an '''iron gate''' breaks the monotony of the airport perimeter fence. This offers the possibility to fit a larger (tele) lens through.

Secondly, you can move a little bit further away '''along the fence''' in the direction of the airport terminal (away from the beach). Disadvantage is that you'll have to deal with the fence again, but it still offers good possibilities.

When you walk in the opposite direction, '''along the beach''' a few other places provide good views, provided you can deal with the fence.

At the end of the beach, you are almost underneath the flight path. Unfortunately the fence will block your views in many cases, but it is still a very nice place to spend some time.

Finally, when you move over towards Havana, a very nice bar on the beach, or Pincho's, a restaurant and bar on a pier into the bay, you may be able to spot planes from quite a spectacular viewing point.
