Review:

Perhaps the most famous beach in St Maarten, Maho Beach is known all over the world due to its proximity to the nearby Princess Juliana Airport. The beach is actually situated just off the airport's main runway, leading to some truly impressive photographs and videos that show huge jumbo jets landing and taking off, flying right over the beach itself. Many people visit this beach just to watch the planes and feel the full force of the wind as they speed past, but the beach is also a nice spot to simply hang out and do some swimming and sunbathing too. This beach is found to the west, not far from the border with the French part of the island.
