Passport to Laughter: These Hilarious Airport Pics Are Worth the Layover

Why Thrill-Seekers Flock to Maho Beach

Maho Beach, located on the stunning island of Saint Martin, offers a unique spectacle where planes fly astonishingly low overhead, descending towards Princess Juliana International Airport. This snap is no optical illusion; the beach lies directly under the flight path, allowing planes to make their final approach at an altitude that feels close enough to touch.

This phenomenon turns the beach into a magnet for thrill-seekers and aviation enthusiasts who flock there with cameras in hand, eager to capture the moment a plane zooms by just above. Selfies taken here often look surreal, as if the aircraft is skimming the tops of beachgoers’ heads, creating a once-in-a-lifetime photo op.
