A Weekend in St. Martin/St. Maarten

The signs — they say “Danger” in bright red letters and depict a man getting blown off his feet by a landing jet — could not be clearer. Yet that doesn’t seem to deter people from lining up on the beach at the foot of the runway at St. Maarten's Princess Juliana International Airport to jump up as if they could touch the approaching aircraft with their fingertips.
