The Sunset Beach Bar is about as famous as Caribbean bars get. It's located on the fringe of tiny Maho Beach, and is the gathering place for aviation buffs from around the world. Expect to see airline pilots and flight attendants on layover, drinking (rather alarmingly, I might add!), teenagers from Europe with massive cameras trying to get the best shots to post on Airliner.net, old balding fat guys with even more massive cameras, trying to get a cover shot for an aviation magazine, local kids selling henna tattoos and pot, folks from the nearby resorts come to watch people get hit by the jet blasts...it's really a great crowd.
There is a lovely deck built out over the sand and water with umbrellas. Lunch and dinner is served from about 10am until the crowd leaves, burgers, fries, barbecue, fish sandwiches, all for around $8. Pricey, but good.
Drinks are around $4, beer is about the same. The place sells a variety of t-shirts and caps and koozies. And there is always a special $1 shot of the day. Don't bother with local currency, US dollars are much more welcome here.
Though the planes are the biggest draw, the bar is named for the spectacular sunsets which draw a massive crowd in their own right.
