From the Saint Martin World / Places
Maho Beach
Maho Beach places aircraft on final approach directly above a small stretch of sand. The aviation spectacle is the reason to stop, with serious care needed around the runway boundary.

Keep exploring Saint Martin with our travel partners.
Few places put an airport approach and a beach so close together. Watch arriving aircraft from a safe public location and notice how the runway meets the shoreline. This is a focused plane-watching visit rather than a quiet beach retreat, and aircraft movements determine how much you see during your stop.
What to look for
Aircraft approaching Princess Juliana Airport
Runway boundary immediately behind the beach
Useful to know
Obey warning signs and never stand in jet blast or hold the airport fence.
Keep clear of the road and airport boundary when watching aircraft.
