Maho Beach

"First things first.. Everybody knows this island with these plane photos✈️🛩️ I experienced it a few times apart from taking photo the experience is very nice and threatening at the same time. Imagine you are sitting on the beach and a Boeing 777 passing just 20meters above you as it will just land 50-100 metrrs behind you🤩🤩🤩 a gorgeous experience. However, the problem is, it becomes such a touristic activity that you cannot enjoy it, there many people around running, taking photo, jumping etc😂 Suggestions There is a guy there who has a aschedule of the flights, when you go there he warns you a few minutes before the arroplane comes so you can set your pose, ypur angle.. The action is about the big arroplanes such as Boeing 777&787 etc. There are 3 companes flying to island from long distance by passing ocean. American Airlines, Blue Jet, KLM & my fav Air France. These are always coming around the same hours between 2.30 pm -4.30pm. First you should check the days (each flight has a spesific date, it is bot everyday) then you can go at this hour period. There is a bar at the end, the best activityis taking your beer and watch the big big toys flying just over your head🤩 The landing aeroplane experience is nice but be careful about the taking off ones. Based on a true story… There are also warnings about it but I havent seen it and while I was just enjoying my beer at a Saturday afternoon, I had a nearly sand storm experience🙈🙈 a long one.. The thing is, the aeroplanes going to USA, they are takimg off in direction opşosite to the beach and there is nothing between the airport and beach as a protective thing(I don’t know why). So, if you are sitting at the beach and the biggest USA aeroplane decides to take off, the party starts🎉🎉 Because you are at the back side of the biggest motors you can see from this distance🙈 And it creates a kimd of storm behind. And as you can imagine it is not just like seconds… I was sitting facing the ocean and my back was facing the airport, there was sand every mişimeter of my back, it just like bit me😂😂😂 But it was also enjoyable .. Once in a lifetime experience 😌 "

"Maho Beach is also known as Airport Beach because, during take-off and landing, the airplanes from Princess Juliana International Airport come so close to the bay you’ll feel as if you can touch them. "

"Experience the thrill of watching planes land and take off just overhead. Be sure to check the schedule (see below) for larger planes like those from KLM for a spectacular view. "
