Maho Beach St. Martin


One of my favorite parts of our trip to St. Matrin's and a bucket list item checked off was to visit Moho Beach.  I have read about Moho Beach and how airplanes of all sizes land directly behind it. I had no idea what to expect but MAN OH MAN was it COOL to watch. The beach was extremely crowded and it is not a place I would hang out and sunbathe. However, for a quick dip cool off and play in the water while waiting for the planes to land the beach was perfect. 

We ended up at Moho Beach right at lunch time. The Sunset Beach Bar was packed but we only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table to open up. The Sunset Beach Bar had some of the best food and drinks we had on our entire trip. They also had a DJ playing music, a pool, gift shop and numerous food choices.  Sunset Beach also displays all the arrivals and departures on a board just like the airports use. You could see what times and sizes the plains were that were flying in. 







So close it was almost like you could reach up and touch it. 


The screen behind Simon is what shows the arrivals and departures for the airport. 


The DJ mixing it up!



A little swimming while watching the planes land. 

I was surprised how many people stood by this sign and waited to feel the jet blast! 


The only draw back to the entire experience was the parking. A sign when you enter says free parking if eating. It failed to mention you had to have your ticket marked at the bar and you couldn't just show your receipt. The parking attendant was extremely rude about the entire situation. While it only cost us a few bucks it it worth noting to get your parking ticket validated when you eat!
