TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Beacon Hill and Airplane Noise

You will here the noise from when the planes take off from the runway.
We stayed in Cupecoy but checked out the other beaches regularly. Cupecoy, Mullet bay and Simspson Bay beaches were rough most of the time with not many people trying to swim in them. The waves and swells were very high. We always went to Kim Sha, Pinel, Great Bay or Grand Case, which were calm most of the time.
