This is an AWESOME beach , so much fun, partying & people watching ???? Go grab the fence when the jets take off, very exhilarating ❤️ Nice cold beer , music & food at the bars at each end of the beach .

Taylor Harker

The jet blasts aren't as bad as I was expecting and the pilot at the time was really putting on a show for us. You'll find sand in places you'd never expect but you'll love it!

Hian Hong

Just have to be here for the plane landings. Unfortunately so does everyone else and the traffic to return to the cruise ship can get quite bad. Still, it was worth it!

Really cool experience to have planes flying above your head as you lay on beach soaking in some sun! Hold onto your hats if you're behind the fence when the plane takes off!

Polikarp Fomich

Great experience. Planes land just above your head. In the meanwhile you can enjoy blue crystal clear water or just lie on the beach . Be aware of jet blast , it might blow all your clothes away.

Andrew C

Like any Caribbean beach , beautiful and wonderful... but even better with airplanes landing right above your heads!!!!! Most are small prop-plans, so check schedules if you want to see a jumbo-jet!

Alan Hedrick

Definitely one to experience. Planes arriving and departing is a total experience you don’t want to miss. Can be busy. But worth it.

Antonio Saraiva

Expect the lowest approaches from the guys of Insel Air. They are from the island and like to amuse people on the beach . Arrivals are at 11:40am and 4:00pm. Their old MD-83s make LOTS of noise!!!

Nicholas

The type of morons that love gathering here are the same type that would cry foul if ever an accident occurred if ever an airplane missed the runway or blew them away with jet blast . Not too bright .

Gregory K.

Yeah it's funny and fun. I wouldn't swim there those. Nice to drink and watch

Lisa L

Don't go on a cruise day . It's fun to watch the planes come in but is quite crowded when the ships are in...

Crudu Adina

Amazing airplanes landing view ! Don't stay near the fence !:)))

Jocelyne Williams Dollin

Had a wonderful time watching the planes take-off. A most see moment.

James Drury

Jet blasts are a blast! Our group lost 2 pair of sunglasses and almost our beach towels don't take anything near the middle of the runway you don't want to lose.

Tracey Churray

Tourist trap, especially on cruise days but still worth the trip to see for yourself if you're renting a car. Don't plan on spending the day, there are far more relaxing beaches .

Joao Vieira

Get here early. Pay the $10 for a chair. Well worth the hype. Cab ride from cruise terminal only run you 9$ per person

Tanya Tossie

Do Air France. The jet blast was awesome. Split second of scary, but secure your items, close your mouth and hold on.

Catarina

Plane-spotting on the beach ? Life doesn't get any better than this.

Sean Michael

Take care on the rocks, not a sandy beach like it used to be

Serhii Lutsko

The place where planes arrive and depart from very close to the beach . Loved it

Mark Trumpbour

For best results, check the arriving flight schedule on flightaware.com before you come to the beach .

Monica Lee

Plane watching... amazing!

Rayan Borayee

One of best place in the island but be careful of the jet blast !

Pat Hawks

Try not to get blown away when the big jets take off.You can find a schedule of take-offs/landings at one of the two bars on the beach .

Aleksander P

Great fun watching landings

Mirka Ferj

Great to see ;)

Marcel Meier

Come and watch the KLM B747 arrive and depart as long as it lasts. From november '16 on it will be an A330

Jaanon Simeon

Beautiful place, shopping and clubs. Celebrities flock to this area

Lars G.

Be aware of the JetBlast. Amazing beach

Mariska. ????

Too many people, too many tourists ! Sunset bar writes down the arrivals and departure times on a surfboard. Although their food isn't the best and it's always crowded .. It's a place to visit in sxm.

Karen Falkowski

Holy moly,the winds from the 747s are crazy! Awesome to experience once.

Ben Mackey

Don’t be one of those idiots that holds on to the fence .

Bobby Birhiray

Food, views and people

BEWARE of jet blast . It is NO joke. It will burn and literally carry you into the water with force.

Carlos Alberto Triana Zapata

Is goooood

Sint Maarten

Catch a B747 or A340 aircraft 40-50ft above your head at the world famous Maho Beach!

Leanne Alyssa

Be careful of the jets taking off... Watched a girl get blown straight into the ocean

Colin Lord

The jet blast in the rain is PAINFUL!

LaLa Von Schwartz

best spot for taking airplanes pictures ????

Zlatko

Delta will blow you away.. ???????? Cool beach

Marcel Dettmer

Great spot ;-)

José Eduardo Teixeira

Uma das praias mais famosas de St. Maarten. Ponto turístico obrigatório para quem visita a ilha. Vale a pena pela experiência inusitada e boas fotos.

Alerrandro Correa

Bonita e pequena, mas não dá para aproveitar como praia . O tempo todo lotada e os aviões passando . Agora como experiência é terrível e imperdivel! Haha :-)
