If you're an aviation geek, you're no doubt familiar with Maho Beach in St. Maarten. What makes it so special is that it's located immediately below the arrival runway for Princess Juliana International Airport. And when I say immediately below, I mean immediately below.

Interesting that they occasionally have someone actively tracking the camera instead of just a fixed position.
I know they give me something awesome and I still want more.... I wish they have multiple cameras with different angles/directions and not a person controlling the view. still I love it fantastic quality also
Hey Ben, thanks for the link. I was lucky enough to to visit when I was cruising. I often wonder why you don't review cruise liners? Seems like there is a gap in the market..
Hey Lucky,
Love your blog. I actually live here on St. Maarten. You have to make it down here at least once to believe that you can reach your hand out and touch a landing plane or a few minutes later be blown away by one taking off. The experience is truly exhilarating. Anyway, keep up the good work!

And yes, manually controlled camera makes the scene so much better. They zoom in on taking off aircraft and then get back to the beach for arrivals!
Love it! Headed there later this year on another one of my Mega Mileage Runs!

@Kevin, STFU.
If you are at the beach to LAUNCH a firework or drone, you'll see the plane, won't you?
Great! Now I want to go see this in person! What's the best way to get there from SAN using miles?
I went to Maho last year. All avgeeks have to go there. It is an amazing experience, the videos can't describe how amazing it feels to have a turboprop land 10 feet over you head, and an a340 20 feet. I recommend going there at least one in your lives.
