Here are the top 10 tips for visiting Maho Beach (aka Aeroplane Beach) in St Maarten on a Caribbean cruise. Maho Beach is easy to visit independently so you can definitely plan a trip to Aeroplane Beach by taxi. The safest place to watch the planes coming in low over the beach is the Sunset Bar & Grill, which also has great food and cocktails. Be especially careful if you decide to stand on the beach during aeroplane take offs because you can be blown backwards.
