Baigua Airport was an agricultural airstrip near the hamlet of Baigue, in the La Altagracia Province of the Dominican Republic. Baigue is southeast of Higüey.

Google Earth Historical Imagery (4/11/2014) shows a gravel runway with a small service building alongside. Trees are beginning to grow in spots along its length. The (4/13/2018) image shows the service building has been demolished and the trees are well developed and encroaching the runway centerline.

The La Romana VOR/DME (Ident: LRN) is 14.6nmi west-southwest of the runway.[3]
