PHLMYR

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a premier view of the Atlantic coastline, including the unique barrier islands and the dramatic meeting point of the Chesapeake and Delaware bays with the ocean.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Delaware Bay & Cape May

Witness the wide mouth of the Delaware Bay and the historic lighthouse at the southern tip of New Jersey.

🐎

Assateague Island

Spot the long, undeveloped barrier island known for its wild horses and pristine white sand dunes.

🏝️

The Outer Banks (OBX)

See the thin, fragile ribbon of islands that separates the Pamlico Sound from the vast Atlantic Ocean.

🏙️

The Grand Strand

During the final approach, enjoy a panoramic view of the continuous 60-mile stretch of beach and hotels.

For the best experience, book an early morning flight to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the descent into MYR, stay alert as the plane often flies parallel to the coast, providing a stunning bird's-eye view of the boardwalk and oceanfront resorts.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🛶

Delaware River Valley

Enjoy views of the industrial history and suburban sprawl of the Delaware Valley immediately after takeoff.

🌉

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel

A massive engineering feat visible as a series of bridges and tunnels crossing the mouth of the Chesapeake.

⚓

Norfolk Naval Base

Look down to see the world's largest naval base, often with aircraft carriers and large ships docked in port.

🌲

Great Dismal Swamp

Observe the dark, dense forested wetlands that straddle the border of Virginia and North Carolina.

The right side is the 'cool' side for afternoon flights, as it avoids the intense direct glare of the sun. It is also the better side for spotting the inland waterways and the urban landscape of the Tidewater region of Virginia.
