KLM Jumbo Jet Boeing 747 BLAST throws People in to the Sunset Beach in St Maarten

Fasten your seatbelts, place your seats in the upright position for take-off and enjoy fun in the sun! or get blown off your feet.

Sunset Bar & Grill is St. Maarten’s most popular beach bar and it’s easy to see why. Most good beach bars have the prerequisite mix of frozen cocktails, burgers, a clean white sand beach with crystal clear water and a great view, but Sunset Beach Bar St Maarten also has the added bonus of one of the most unique experiences in the world – Large jet planes landing & taking off just a few feet away over the beach!

Sunset Beach Bar is located right at the start of the runway of Princess Juliana International Airport, and it gives you panoramic, ringside seats to watch the smallest and largest planes landing in dramatic style.

St Maarten airport was featured in the History Channels’ high-rated show ominously titled ‘The 10 most dangerous airports’ in the world” and came in 3rd after St Barths and Nepal.

We think ‘dangerous’ was used to sensationalize the issue and produce high ratings because St Maarten airport has a much better track record than most other airports in the world. But what cannot be ignored is the excitement and originality factor of watching commercial jets land and take off so close to you – people come from all over the world just to experience this. Some even look at this instant private jet charter cost estimator to see what it would cost for a first-class experience. Still, this airport experience can be considered better and more exciting than most landmarks tourists flock to, New York Times Square anyone?
