About Maho Beach

Maho Beach is located at the end of the Princess Juliana International Airport runway, on the southwest side of St. Maarten. Not only is it a beautiful beach, but it is a great spot to get extremely close to giant jets as they come in for a landing, or get jet-blasted as they take off.

A sign along the beach reads "DANGER - Jet blast of departing and arriving aircraft can cause severe physical harm resulting in extreme bodily harm and/or death." Now this is our kind of place.
