Hugh Town and Harbor
Aerial view of the main settlement on St. Mary's and the bustling harbor filled with boats.
St. Martin's Beaches
Look north to see the striking white sands and turquoise waters of Higher Town Bay.
Longships Lighthouse
The historic lighthouse situated on the rugged rocks just off the Land's End headland.
Sennen Cove
A stunning view of the wide sandy beach and surf breaks as the plane descends.
Seven Stones Reef
The treacherous reef area between the islands and the mainland, often marked by white surf.
Sit on the left for the best 'island hopping' feel as you leave St. Mary's. For photography, use a fast shutter speed as the Twin Otter aircraft flies relatively low. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the northern islands like Tresco and St. Martin's without glare.

Star Castle
The Elizabethan fortress on the Garrison of St. Mary's visible shortly after takeoff.
Wolf Rock Lighthouse
A solitary lighthouse standing on a steep rock in the open Atlantic to the south.
Minack Theatre
The world-famous open-air theater carved into the granite cliffs near Porthcurno.
Land's End Signpost
The iconic westernmost point of England with its dramatic granite cliffs and visitor complex.
Penzance Coastline
Distant views of Mount's Bay and the south Cornwall coast during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for spotting the dramatic southern cliffs of the Penwith Peninsula. If the flight path takes a southerly route, the Minack Theatre is a must-see landmark. Afternoon flights are better on this side to avoid the harsh southern sun reflecting off the ocean.
