This is the only offical spotting location at Williamtown. There is plenty of parking to accomodate 100+ cars a couple of chairs to sit on looking down Runway 30. This spot is great for visual landings on 30 or take of from 12. The sand dunes out to the east makes for a great back drop when spotting at this location.
