Landing in SBH--both approaches?

Hello all--We just returned from yet another great trip to St. Barth. Yesterday at the SBH airport we noticed something new: We first saw the airplanes land over the beach and then just a few minutes later we saw them land the "regular way" over the hill. Under what circumstances would we see both approaches utilized? And is this common? Thanks.
 
Welcome home! My understanding is if the winds are light it is the pilot's choice.
