Maho Beach, Where People Come to Watch Airplanes

Maho Beach is one of those beaches where people not go primarily because they want to enjoy in ordinary beach activities like swimming and enjoying in sun. This beach gives their visitors a little bit different but really unique experience.

Maho Beach can be found in St Maarten island in Netherlands Antilles. The most impressive “feature” of this unique location is Princess Juliana International Airport which is located just a few feet away from the beach.

This unusually small distance from beach forces pilots of airplanes to fly very low over the beach in order to land properly. The problem is that beach is too close to the landing spot so airplanes are flying just few meters over tourists heads.

For those who come here just to enjoy in beach this will probably be annoying thing and little bit horrifying too. But most of tourists come there to enjoy in excitement when huge jet aircraft passes over their heads.

Regular surfing is cool but you are probably going to be stunned when you see dogs surfing the waves. San Diego is one of such places where you can see a lot of surfing dogs. There is a whole community of surfing dogs enthusiasts who are attending with their pets to different events all around the world.

Latest event of such kind was held yesterday in San Diego, California.

I am little bit embarrassed by those dogs who are obviously true professionals when we talk about surfing what I couldn’t claim for myself, though.

However, the event is not only for surfing dogs or their owners, it is actually pretty visited by different kind of people and if you are attending this event for very first time you are going to be shocked with the surfing abilities of those dogs.

He considers himself as the world’s first professional beach calligrapher. His artworks are made by carving letters in the beach sand.

Here you can see some of his masterpieces that he recently produced. Sadly, his artworks doesn’t last for a long time so he also has to be a good photographer because that is the only way to show his art to a wider audience: by taking great photos of his artworks.
