Princess Juliana, the second busiest airport in the Caribbean, is considered one of the most dangerous airports in the world mainly due to its short runway, that is located near popular Maho beach.

In fact, the airport is only separated by a fence and a narrow street from the beach and, as a result, jet blasts of departing and arriving aircrafts are often experienced by the bathers.
