Kick back, relax, and enjoy the jet blast (15 Photos)

Maho Beach is situated in St Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles. As of 2008, it is one of the few places in the world where one can view aircraft in their flightpath virtually just outside the end of the runway. Due to the extremely short runway, planes land as close to the beginning of the runway as possible. People are often blown from the beach into the water due to the intense jet blast. It's a windsurfers paradise.

    "Don't worry about the spa, honey. There's a free exfoliating service on the beach. Trust me."

    You know you're screwed when your vacation spot turns your drink into quicksand, and every half hour your beach becomes the Mint 500.

    My suggestions are as follows
    A: Drink Heavily,
    B: Wear Goggles,
    C: Get kite
    D: Did I fucking tell you to stop drinking?

    I've been to that beach. The island is half French and half Dutch. Spent a lot of my time on the nude beach, Orient Bay. Not what you think. Kind of gross. But also awesome. That's me though, I digs the older ladies, and their traditional grooming habits.

  13. thetech2 says:
