I have been fortunate to have visited St. Maarten 3 times. The people of the island were some of the nicest that I have ever met. I feel terrible for what has happened their home. While it will clearly take time, I certainly hope for a full recovery for them.
Well you’re free to visit my island soon. The beach is already back. No they don’t use barges to bring sand to the beach. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve been hearing for years. It’s natural the beach comes and goes. One hurricane takes it away and it returns on its own.
I am fortunate that I got to visit Maho Beach a week before the hurricane. Mother nature is a powerful force. It is a beautiful island, and I know it will return to its former glory in time. God bless all the people affected by Irma!
What a difference ! Before the hurricane the nose of the plane was blue, and after the hurricane the nose of the plane turned white. I guess all the wind and rain wore the paint job clean off!
Wow, at first I was just gonna say, ok the beach is underwater. But then damn, as the pilot lands and begins his 180 degree turnaround down the runway, you really get a sweeping view of the local damage. Definitely empathetic to the people there, as my fellow Houstonians and myself are still in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
Cassandra Glowacki no. Only when there is a big storm the road will probably be flooded. But don't worry, the beach will be back. It comes and goes all the time.
Is this the first hurricane to ever strike?? Doesn't look a whole lot different before and after. Rest assured, after the clean-up, this will again be the tropical escape of choice.
the first thing I noticed was the beach the planes fly over to land is now gone, with some sand on the runway. They should not have allowed people to hang out there anyway. But sad island.
MoonFighter Plays Roblox&More So you're upset about it being gone then proceed to be a faliure of a joke by putting a fake read more. Didn't work on me pal.

The beach has been gone before, hopefully it will return :)
Fredrik Lund they'll just send out some Barges with dredges on them to go collect more and put it back.
Fredrik Lund ,
@Charles Harwood Do you think they will actually do that? Because if you know that for a fact that would be great!
The beach comes and goes often! It WILL be back!

Harrison Cohen Thank fucking God

It comes and goes all the time. It WILL be back!

Saddle Sore Good one!
It was a different aircraft, wind and rain cannot take the aircraft's paint job off.
Thanks for pointing that out Mateo. Where would I be without smart people like you making me realize how stupid I am.
Saddle Sore you're not stupid, you just had a wrong answer. I get some answers wrong too! Nobody is perfect. 😊
Well Mateo you got this wrong too. I was joking and you didn't get it, I was being sarcastic and you didn't get that either. Duh!
In Cuba the big coral reefs had moved and the water wasn’t as clear. A lot of rocks too at the beach.
When writing this, i am in St. Martin. It is very sad to see Maho Beach like this.

I didn't get to visit the beech in time ;(
What happened to Maho Beach!!!!?
Was just there last week. There is sand there again, just not as much as there was before.
No more Maho beach?! Sigh.... never gonna check this off my bucket list
It's back!
Um bonito lugar
this was posted on my birthday
I heard the beach was all gone & there's nothing but big barrier boulders that was under all that sand. Ocean comes up to the road now?
Cassandra Glowacki no. Only when there is a big storm the road will probably be flooded. But don't worry, the beach will be back. It comes and goes all the time.
I was there before Irma in a 787, shocking to see what it is now.....
You think St Maarten got it bad i shudder to think what destruction was done to St Barths and Saba😨😨😨
Tom McGlone how about Barbuda
Mick Funny oh shit yeah Barbuda was really sucker punched i heard.

Aaron Fang Shenhao the beach comes and goes all the time. It will be back.
I used to watch planes land and take off to and from the airport on RUclips,
What plane are you flying?
Boeing 737
Noooooooo the beach is so cool and now it's gone!
Don't worry we are sxm strong
What airline is this?
Paul Zacharopoulos Tui I think, maybe thompson
They should do the same thing they do in Singapore when they make islands out of recycled materials but make it a beach!
what aircraft type?
very sad to see SXM like this...
Supreme Leader
Supreme Leader 747 KLM
really? KLM stopped operating the boeing 747 to SXM in October, 2016.
the 747 doesn't shake that much either.
How does a whole fuckin beach disappear in one storm?
The beach.....
Vanished
I'm guessing the airlines westjet
GIVE BACK THE BEACH
So sad and impressive to see what nature can do when she got pissed off !!!
At least the water is still beautiful
The sand shifted to the shore before. It will do so again - and very soon.
Hi Zira
1:25 butter
Before Irma, there was a shore, After Irma there was no people and no shore.
That's sad 😢
the first thing I noticed was the beach the planes fly over to land is now gone, with some sand on the runway. They should not have allowed people to hang out there anyway. But sad island.
