Agua Caliente Airport (FAA LID: L54) (Agua Caliente Airstrip) is a public airport a mile northeast of Agua Caliente County Park,[2] San Diego County, California. It covers 160 acres (65 ha) and has one runway.[3] Agua Caliente translates to "Hot Water" from Spanish.[4]

There is an average of one operation per day here, typically a general aviation transient. As of May 2014 no aircraft are based here. L54 has no food, fuel or services and limited aircraft parking but no tiedown fees. It usually is a destination for those flying in to visit the geothermally heated Agua Caliente Hot Springs or hike and camp in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.[1]

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2020, the airport had 4400 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 367 per month.[5]
