The water is picture perfect. the beach bars are great, topless women drink free! Great plane watching if you like that, but even if you don't care it's pretty awesome how close they get! Check the flight schedule posted and ride the fence when the 747's take off!

This was one of the highlights of my visit to St. Maarten. I love watching planes and it is such an unique experience to be on the beach or in the water and watch the planes fly directly overhead. What made it even better is that the beach itself was very nice. It isn't the biggest beach around but it... More

We sat in Sunset Beach Bar 15 minutes, moved tables, had to wave arms, etc before finally getting a menu. Seems like the girl who finally waited on us was named Ash. I hate to berate her...she was friendlier than the others, but still a bad waitress. I had a cheeseburger and my GF had a pizza. They were great,... More

This is a wonderful place to visit. We watched the airplanes come in over the beach. We had hamburgers for lunch and they were OUTRAGEOUSLY good!! Definitely recommend going here!

The beach is small stuck between two bar-terraces and a airport runway. It's is exactly what makes it so special. You can stand at the very beginning of the only runway or Princess Juliana airport waiting to shoot a video of a B747 landing that will go be aboutn50 feet over your head; incredible! The first time you stand there... More

Go to watch planes and people, the beach is lively and fun. Risk it if you don't mind getting blown into the ocean by a 747 when they take off.......a must-do!!!

This was also on my bucket list ! It was quite amazing watching the giant jumbo jets taking off & landing so close to the beach !! The beach itself was a great beach to lay on & the water is beautiful !! Something everyone should experience at least once !!

An ice cold fruity frozen beach drink, getting our tan on, beautiful beach and waves next to you as a huge Jet airliner soars barely overhead is an amazing experience to say the least. It is possible to get a huge stream blown at you from the jet engine also. I don't mind sometimes a crowded beach and this is... More
