- Best timeAfternoon, when the big jets arrive
Maho Beach lies directly beneath the approach to Princess Juliana Airport on Sint Maarten, so landing aircraft pass just overhead. Arrival times are posted at the beach bars.
Standing behind departing jets is dangerous and prohibited: the jet blast can injure people.
Tips
- Never stand behind the fence during take-offs
- Check the arrivals board at the beach bar
- Combine with nearby Mullet Bay
