Nope, that's real...Princess Juliana, St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles. The beach is Maho Beach and there are hundreds of pictures like that of airplanes coming in right over the beach; the end of the runway is just across that access road. The airport only has one runway, and there's a mountain at the other end, so most approaches are made over Maho Beach. Granted, that 747 was a little low, but not THAT low compared to others. If you go to airliners.net and look for their most popular pictures of all time, probably two-thirds of them are shots taken at Maho Beach.
