Airplane over Head - Beach?

[Mickey78R]

Could someone please tell me what beach and what island is it that the airplanes fly right over your head? In the past, I have seen pictures of it but I can't remember where that is.

 

Thanks so much!

I do know that while on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu the airplanes will fly over. That is on the Island of Oahu. I do not know if that is the one you are talking about. You have to give me some clue where in the world you are talking about???

You're almost certainly thinking of the beach at St Maarten.

Sorry - Yes, I am talking about a place in the Caribbean. What beach is that in St Marteen?

 

Thanks for your quick responses!

It is in St Maarten and it is called Maho beach.

Maho Beach has a bar there also that has a loud speaker that broadcasts the control towers info on what plane is coming in. The bar also serves topless women free. They have $1 Heineikens(sp?) and conch fritters. Food prices not too bad.

How close do you want to get to a 747?

Could it be St Jean beach on St Barts.

The inter island plane seem to skim the water

as they come in to land.
