Schooner Cays
Incredible swirling white sand patterns and tidal bars that look like abstract art from the air.
The Drop-Off
Observe the sharp transition where the turquoise shallow bank plunges into the dark navy blue of the Exuma Sound.
Cape Eleuthera
The distinctive hook-shaped peninsula featuring a marina and remote beaches as you approach the island's southern end.
Patch Reefs
Clear views of dark circular coral heads dotting the crystal-clear shallow waters of the Great Bahama Bank.
The right side is essential for seeing the Schooner Cays, which are the geographic highlight of this route. Mid-day flights provide the most vibrant water colors as the sun is directly overhead, minimizing shadows on the sandbars.
Book Hotels in Rock Sound
Nassau Skyline
Panoramic views of downtown Nassau and the iconic Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island shortly after takeoff.
Rose Island
A long, narrow strip of private beaches and vibrant reefs visible as the plane heads east.
Winding Bay
A stunning crescent-shaped beach on the Atlantic side of Eleuthera visible during the final descent into Rock Sound.
Sit on the left for the best views of the high-end developments on Paradise Island during departure. This side is preferred for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare reflecting off the water.
