Which side of the plane to sit from Land's End Airport (Land's End) to St. Mary's Airport (ST MARY\'S)?
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.
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.
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.
