Last week’s photo contest winner was Rocky Cestroni of Huntingdon Valley, PA. Of the 6 people who had the correct answer, Rocky was the first to respond. The name of the beach in last week’s photo (shown below along with other photos) was Maho Beach. Maho Beach is located on the Dutch side of St. Maarten. The beach is about 20 yards from the runway of the Queen Juliana airport. This is the premier plane watching spot in the world. It is the only place where you can legally stand less than 50 feet from an airborne 747. Queen Juliana Airport is rated as the 4th most extreme airport in the world. Next time you’re in St. Maarten, try “riding the fence”. By the way, there is a sign indicating that this can result in extreme injury or death. The Sunset Beach Bar is a cool beach bar and is at the end of the beach. Have a cold drink while you await the arrival of the next plane. The bar lists the arrival time of big planes on a surfboard.
