Sunset Bar & Grill (also known as the Sunset Beach Bar) is located on the South end of Maho Beach, which is located mere feet from the threshold of SXM's Runway 10. The beach and the bar are a five to ten minute walk (or a quick taxi ride) from the airport terminal. The bar is welcoming to spotters; a surfboard posted in the sand is regularly updated with the day's scheduled departing and arriving aircraft. The bar features dozens of picnic tables and open seating facing the beach to view aircraft. The beach and rocks surrounding the bar offer countless angles of aircraft arriving low over the beach. | Sunset Bar & Grill (also known as the Sunset Beach Bar) is located on the South end of Maho Beach, which is located mere feet from the threshold of SXM's Runway 10. The beach and the bar are a five to ten minute walk (or a quick taxi ride) from the airport terminal. The bar is welcoming to spotters; a surfboard posted in the sand is regularly updated with the day's scheduled departing and arriving aircraft, and TV monitors show flight arrival and departure status.

Since aircraft will be flying very low over the beach, most aircraft will not require a large telephoto zoom lens. Aircraft such as the 747 or A340 will fill the frame at focal lengths as low as 18mm from the bar. Wide-angle and fish-eye shots are possible from the beach under the runway center line. No more than 150mm will be required for even the smallest aircraft. | Since aircraft will be flying very low over the beach, most aircraft will not require a large telephoto zoom lens.
