MHHPBI

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the industrial landscape of Freeport and the sprawling luxury estates along the West Palm Beach coastline during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Great Abaco Southern Coast

Aerial views of the pine forests and rocky outcrops of southern Great Abaco immediately after departure from MHH.

🌊

Little Bahama Bank

Stunning gradients of turquoise and sapphire blue as the plane crosses the shallow sandbars toward Grand Bahama.

⚓

Port of Freeport

Clear views of the massive container ships, cruise terminals, and dry docks on the southwestern tip of Grand Bahama.

🛥️

The Gulf Stream Crossing

Observe the distinct transition from the light Bahamian waters to the deep, dark indigo of the fast-flowing Gulf Stream.

🏙️

Palm Beach Waterfront

The opulent mansions of the 'Gold Coast', including Mar-a-Lago and the Breakers Hotel, visible just before touchdown.

Book a mid-morning flight to ensure the sun is high enough to illuminate the reefs but behind the aircraft. During the final 10 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the high-rise skyline of West Palm Beach and the dense concentration of mega-yachts in the Lake Worth Lagoon.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Treasure Cay

A glimpse of the world-renowned crescent-shaped white sand beach located just north of Marsh Harbor.

🏝️

Northern Abaco Cays

A chain of idyllic islands including Green Turtle Cay and Great Guana Cay visible in the distance to the north.

🌳

Lucayan National Park

The sprawling mangrove ecosystems and protected coastline of northern Grand Bahama Island.

🔦

Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

The iconic red lighthouse and the scenic Jupiter Inlet are frequently visible as the aircraft begins its descent sequence.

⛳

Palm Beach Gardens

Vibrant green golf courses and intricate canal-front residential communities characteristic of Northern Palm Beach County.

The right side is excellent for spotting small uninhabited cays early in the flight. In winter months, watch for North Atlantic Right Whales or pods of dolphins in the deeper waters between the Bahamas and Florida. If the flight approaches from the north, this side provides the best view of the Loxahatchee River.
