Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the vibrant turquoise waters of the Little Bahama Bank and the iconic Florida coastline including the Space Coast during the approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Abaco Archipelago

Aerial views of Marsh Harbor and the surrounding cays immediately after takeoff from MHH.

🌊

Little Bahama Bank

Vibrant turquoise shallow waters contrasted against the deep blue of the Atlantic Trench.

🏖️

Grand Bahama South Shore

Views of the southern beaches and industrial ports of Freeport as you head northwest.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

On clear days, see the massive VAB building and launch pads of Cape Canaveral to the west.

🏟️

Daytona International Speedway

The massive tri-oval track is highly visible from cruising altitude near the Florida coast.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Bahamian shallows. For afternoon flights, this side will be away from the direct sun glare, making it easier to photograph the transition from ocean to the Florida Space Coast. Keep an eye out for the distinct color change of the Gulf Stream.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛥️

Northern Bahamian Reefs

Views of Walker's Cay and the northernmost fringes of the Bahamian island chain.

🌊

The Gulf Stream

Observe the dark, deep blue ribbon of the powerful current flowing north between the Bahamas and Florida.

🏖️

Jacksonville Beaches

The long stretch of white sand from Ponte Vedra Beach up to Neptune Beach during descent.

⚓

Mayport Naval Station

Look for massive aircraft carriers and naval vessels docked at the mouth of the St. Johns River.

🚤

St. Johns River Mouth

The winding river entrance where the dark inland water meets the Atlantic Ocean surf.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the final approach into JAX, this side provides excellent views of the Jacksonville coastline and the naval infrastructure at Mayport. Use binoculars to spot large cargo ships entering the St. Johns River.
