Photos and videos of this location have been floating around on the internet for years.  Maho Beach is located on St. Maarten (Netherlands Antilles) and is directly adjacent to the Princess Juliana International Airport.  The airport's runway is relatively short (7,152 ft.), requiring landing aircraft to approach at extremely low altitudes, right over the beach.  Beach goers are warned of the possibility of being blown backwards into the water.

Some of the clips on Google Video are pretty entertaining...
