Erosion, Deposition, and a Runway's Defense - Maho Beach Sint Maarten

Beyond the planes, Maho Beach offers a perfect lesson in coastal geography. Our 7-month time-lapse showcases the constant battle between erosion and deposition, driven by wave energy and tides. See how hurricane season storms carve away the sand, revealing the essential rocks that protect the runway. Then, observe the natural beach-building process as calmer waters return the sediment. This is the dynamic equilibrium of Maho Beach, a captivating example of nature's power and balance.
