Love it. One contributor has it that the aircraft wouldn't make the threshold, another has it that the place is a bloodbath waiting to happen.

Thankfully the Netherlands Antilles authorities have not been injected with the health and safety virus. People who inhabit the beach area are presumed to have the sense to take care of themselves, those who don't have only themselves to blame. Local drivers respect the aircraft crossing signs, it's the visitors in hire cars who generally risk it.

From time to time there is a lower than average landing but the beach, the approach and the watchers have been there a very long time. As for me, a seat in the bar or standing on the opposite side of the beach is best for photography.
