St Maarten - Simpsom Bay

The key to this place is its prime location - it's the go-to spot for those looking to watch airplanes land up close. We decided to stop by and check it out.

This restaurant is popular among tourists who come here to watch the planes land over Maho Beach at the nearby Princess Juliana International Airport. It is also the largest bar in the area.

We had a wonderful time at the restaurant, and the parking is free when you purchase a drink and validate your parking ticket. They offer sunshades and chairs right on the deck for convenience.

Here's the deal with this very popular place. If you sit along the railing near the ocean you have to order food by 10am or you have to move. We ordered a drink and left because we weren't hungry. The lady helping us seems really annoyed that bus loads of people were dropped off at a very popular place.
