One of the most famous beaches in the world, Maho Beach is located at the end of the runway at Princess Juliana International Airport and has been the setting for numerous holiday movies that went viral about planes landing on the adjacent Dutch side of St Maarten Airport.

A surfboard converted into a chalkboard at the Sunset Beach Bar informs you of the expected planes that will be departing shortly. Propeller planes are not to be feared, but if a Boeing is approaching, you should pack your things and hold on tight!

Maho Beach is a famous beach that is world famous for its unique location near Princess International Airport. The beach is one of the most popular shore excursion destinations on Sint Maarten. The planes here fly so low over the beach, allowing visitors to watch them up close as they take off or land.

The beach on St. Maarten par excellence.

The best-visited location for low-flying jets.
