Maho Beach, located near Saint Martin’s Princess Juliana International Airport, offers a unique and thrilling experience. Planes approach the runway at such a low altitude that they nearly skim the sand, creating a sensation of almost brushing against beachgoers’ umbrellas. This proximity to the flight path makes Maho Beach a distinctive spot where visitors can feel the rush of air and hear the roar of engines as aircraft pass overhead. Today, the beach draws both locals and tourists who come to witness this extraordinary sight and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.
