Plage de St Jean

St. Barths, French Caribbean,Why it made our list Located at the end of the islands airport (which claims to have one of the worlds shortest landing strips at 2,100 feet), this beautiful beach comes with an air of danger, in 2009, a plane ran out of runway and crashed on it. Thankfully, no one was injured. A playground for the super rich and mega famous, expect to spy celebs sipping martinis. Or, at the least, planes taking off and landing above your beach chair.
