Princess Juliana International Airport

Maho Beach, on the Dutch Caribbean island of St. Maarten, is famous for its close proximity to Princess Juliana International Airport.
Because of the short runway (2,180 meters / 7.152 feet), aircraft have to touch down as close as possible to the beginning of the track to ensure a safe landing.
The beach is such a popular location for plane-spotters, that most bars and restaurants there have daily deprture and arrival boards.
