Famous for having its international airport right next to the beach, the planes get so close to the sand.

Due to the unique proximity of low flying airliners, the location is very popular with plane spotters. This is one of the few places in the world where aircraft can be viewed in their flight path just outside the end of the runway. Watching airlines pass over the beach is such a popular activity that daily arrivals and departures is displayed on a board on the beach.

Maho Beach is unusually close to the threshold of a runway, and is directly under the flight path, resulting in aircraft on their final approach flying over the beach at altitudes of less than 100 feet above ground level.

This tour gives you the option to either relax on the beach soaking in the beautiful rays of the sun or swim in the fresh water pool while enjoying some local music. However, if these activities seem too routine for you, you may want to indulge in some of the more popular events at the Beach such as windsurfing and skim boarding occasional high waves will certainly give you the extra adrenalin shot needed to show off your skim boarding skills to envious friends and family. Be prepared to swallow a little extra salt water from the sea, the locals claim.
