Nantucket Town
A perfect aerial view of the historic cobblestone streets, the Whaling Museum, and the busy harbor ferries.
Tuckernuck Island
The small, privately owned island west of Nantucket, featuring pristine, untouched coastal landscapes.
Edgartown Harbor
Watch for the iconic Edgartown Lighthouse and the density of luxury yachts moored in the protected harbor.
Chappaquiddick Island
The narrow 'On Time' ferry crossing and the intricate marshes of Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge.
Sengekontacket Pond
The large tidal pond between Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, famous as a filming location for 'Jaws'.
The right side is essential for seeing the classic New England harbor architecture. Because the flight is very short (often under 15 minutes) and at a low altitude (usually 2,000-3,000 feet), the detail is incredible. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur on these smaller commuter aircraft.

Nantucket South Shore
Uninterrupted views of the massive, sandy beaches of Surfside and Cisco stretching into the horizon.
Muskeget Channel
The turbulent waters where the Atlantic meets the Sound, often showing distinct tidal rips and sandbars.
Edgartown Great Pond
Large, scenic coastal salt ponds on the southern coast of Martha's Vineyard with finger-like coves.
Katama Airpark
The famous grass-strip airfield located right next to the crashing waves of South Beach.
Sit on the left for the best view of the dramatic Atlantic surf hitting the islands. This side is particularly stunning during the 'Golden Hour' before sunset when the southern light hits the sandbars. Keep an eye out for seals near the sandspits between the islands.
