Top 20 Crazy Jet Blasts at Maho Beach
(Literally) Blown Away By The Caribbean
What a blast! ShowMe Caribbean has collected twenty of the craziest jet departures at Maho Beach recorded by their brand new webcam over the past year.
Their Maho Beach Webcam serves as worldwide digital meeting place for those interested in the beach known for its proximity to St. Maarten Airport. The manually guided camera was installed in 2024, and has already been visited by over 4 million viewers. Every day, tens of thousands of St. Maarten and aviation fans see and discuss the landings on this Caribbean runway of world fame. The crowds recorded by the high tech camera and its footage also are testament to how this aviation geek bucket list beach experience ranks also high on the list of activities for resort guests and things to do for St. Maarten cruise visitors.
Though it is a great spot to see little Cessnas, Twin Otters, private jets and other small aircraft diligently prepare for landing at the exotic beach destination, its most famous experience is that of being tossed into the sea by jet blasts of large Boeings and Airbuses. KLM, Air France, American Airlines and Delta jet departures are amongst the plane spotting highlights.
Preparing for Plane Power
Ensure you know what planes are landing and leaving the airport at the airport schedule and St Maarten weather forecasts before visiting, to plan the most fun visit to the most photographed Caribbean beach in the world.
The webcam movies also remind of the extreme power these giants of the sky produce. It is not for nothing the many “danger” signs were placed along the runway. The ten recordings show how many visitors underestimate the powerful air streams exuded by the motors right before departure. Belongings end up in the sea and tourists fall off the concrete girder. It is therefore at all times recommended to not stand near the fence or driveway, but on the beach itself to prevent injury. As you can tell from these spectacular jet blast movies, the experience is just as much felt on the beach, so please take this simple precaution.
