MIA → ELH
Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to North Eleuthera Airport (North Eleuthera)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior panorama of the Miami skyline upon departure and captures the most iconic geographical features of North Eleuthera, specifically the Glass Window Bridge, during the approach.
Miami Skyline
Unobstructed views of Downtown Miami, Brickell, and the Port of Miami immediately after takeoff from MIA.
Great Bahama Bank
Miles of shallow, neon-turquoise water and intricate underwater sand patterns visible shortly after crossing the Gulf Stream.
Bimini Chain
The northernmost islands of the Bahamas, appearing as tiny emerald specks in a vast sea of light blue.
Glass Window Bridge
The dramatic narrow point where the dark, churning Atlantic Ocean is separated from the calm, turquoise Bight of Eleuthera by only 30 feet of rock.
Current Cut
A narrow channel between North Eleuthera and Current Island known for its high-velocity tidal currents and vibrant water colors.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, which enhances the saturation of the turquoise water. On approach to ELH, look for the 'Current' settlement; the contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow bank is most visible from this side.
Key Biscayne
Views of Cape Florida Lighthouse and the lush greenery of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park during the initial climb.
The Berry Islands
Clusters of private cays, including Chub Cay, often surrounded by luxury yachts and deep-sea fishing vessels.
Harbour Island
Famous for its pink sand beaches, this island is clearly visible on the right during the final descent into North Eleuthera.
Dunmore Town
The historic, colorful New England-style cottages of Harbour Island provide a charming aerial perspective.
The Tongue of the Ocean
A deep underwater canyon to the south that turns the water a deep, midnight blue compared to the surrounding shallows.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the water. If the aircraft circles for a southern approach, you will get an intimate view of the luxury estates on Harbour Island.
