Review & FAQ:
Even people who have never visited St Martin have probably seen photos of Maho Beach. It's one of the most iconic beaches in the world, especially for photographers, as it is very closely situated to the local international airport. In fact, the airport's runway leads straight towards the beach, so as planes are landing and taking off from St Martin, they fly right over Maho Beach, blasting the sands below with extremely strong gusts of wind as they pass by. This means that Maho Beach isn't exactly the most peaceful place in the world, but it's definitely one of the most unique St Martin beaches of them all and is located in the Dutch part of the island on the southwestern shore.
