Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the northern islands of Scilly, including the white sand beaches of Tresco and the iconic red-and-white Daymark on St Martin's.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏖️

Sennen Cove

A beautiful stretch of white sand and clear blue water popular with surfers.

⛰️

Cape Cornwall

The only cape in England, marked by a distinctive 19th-century mine chimney.

🔴

St Martin's Daymark

A famous red-and-white striped navigation tower built in 1683 on the highest point of St Martin's.

🌳

Tresco Island

Exceptional views of the Abbey Gardens area and the turquoise waters of Pentle Bay.

🚤

Bryher & Samson

The narrow channels and uninhabited island of Samson appear clearly during the descent.

The right side is the prime choice for the final approach into St Mary's. You will see the stunning turquoise lagoons between the northern islands, which look tropical from the air. Late afternoon flights provide a warm glow on the white sands of Tresco and St Martin's.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Land's End Cliffs

Granite cliffs at the tip of Cornwall dropping sharply into the Atlantic Ocean.

🗼

Longships Lighthouse

A historic lighthouse perched on a rocky reef about 1 mile offshore from Land's End.

🏝️

St Agnes

The southernmost inhabited island of the Scillies, known for its rugged coast and lighthouse.

🛶

The Western Rocks

A group of jagged, uninhabited islets that are famous for historical shipwrecks.

⚓

Peninnis Head

The southernmost point of St Mary's featuring unusual weathered rock formations.

The left side is perfect for catching the immediate view of the Longships Lighthouse after takeoff. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, making the southern coastline and lighthouses more distinct against the sea.
