Maho Beach is one of the most unique beaches on earth to date. The beach is located on St. Maarten, a tiny island near Puerto Rico. It's so tiny, that the local airport is located only few feet behind the beach where hundreds of people enjoy the sun, the water and the sand. Beach goers + Jumbo planes? big win for us photographers. Check out these crazy images of planes almost touching the tourists on the beach.

Just amazing to see these machines so close..
I love the smell of napalm in the morning...
Jesus...
oh flying spaghetti monster!
I like Matt Hintsa's photo. I looks like they are giving the plane a jump start.
The sound must be deafening as they go over and i wonder how much sand is kicked up.
Great photos thanks for finding and sharing don't think theres one that i don't like.
I like tkolos photo must have been hard getting that shutter speed balance right
Awesome. Gotta go there someday
How about some of the videos of airplanes taking off from St Maarten airport? Hanging out here particularly during takeoffs is pretty hair raising.
Been there, done that. Amazing, but prepare to get sand-blasted from the jet wash.
I really want to go there!
I was there last year. I remember as one of the jumbo's was preparing for takeoff. The pilot had the window rolled down and was waving to everyone as he began turning the plane away from the beach. Then, he held the brake, and gave us a huge jetwash. It was so loud and the wash was so powerful that bags, towels, cameras, and little kids were getting blown into the ocean! It was insane! We were getting blasted by sand to the point where we ran and jumped into the ocean......the only thing is that the waves coming in were crushing and powerful. Pick your poison! Such an awesome trip!
Great shots. Funny to notice for 90% of these images, they are taken on the same beach with different angles by various photographers.
