DURING ARRIVAL, THE PLT NOTED THAT THE WIND WAS FROM ABOUT 150 DEGS. DUE TO THE TERRAIN & OBSTRUCTIONS NEAR THE NORTHEAST END OF THE RWY, HE ELECTED TO LAND ON RWY 4. DURING THE LANDING, THE ACFT FLOATED BEFORE TOUCHING ABOUT 1/3 TO 1/2 OF THE WAY DOWN THE RWY. THE PLT USED MAX BRAKING; HOWEVER, BRAKING ACTION WAS POOR DUE TO LOOSE GRAVEL ON THE TURF RWY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT HIT ROUGH TERRAIN BEYOND THE END OF THE RWY & THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.
