Very cool.  I've seen a few photos of that particular runway / beach.  In fact, I think I remember seeing a shot from the opposite side of a 747 about to touchdown.

From what I understand, they've closed the beach because of the obvious dangers involved.

here's a pic i have saved. i can go looking to prove it, but the deal is that this one came in too low and the landing gear snagged the perimeter fence and dragged some with it down the runway.  
pilot fired.

editted to say that if i could ever afford to visit that place, you'd never be able to pry me away from that section of beach.    too cool.

I have seen a video of people pretty much flying into the water as a jet flew overhead.

Might be frightened if they saw a C5 coming in for a landing.

Yup, that was the shot I was thinking of Gunsanplanes.  I never knew that was low on the glidepath though.

Here's a good shot of the runway end to end:  St. Maarten-Princess Juliana International

Been there in June of 2001 - JTFEX liberty port.  I cared too much about my hearing to hang out right under the flight path though.  Impressive to watch.
