Nature Coast Islands
The rugged, marshy coastline of the Big Bend area and the remote islands of Cedar Key.
Everglades National Park
The legendary 'River of Grass,' featuring intricate patterns of sawgrass and water that stretch to the horizon.
Urban Growth Boundary
The stark, literal line where the suburban sprawl of Miami ends abruptly and the protected Everglades begin.
Port Miami
On many approaches, you will see the world's busiest cruise terminal and the cargo ships navigating the Government Cut canal.
The right side is unbeatable for sunset flights, as the sun dips below the Gulf of Mexico horizon. Keep your camera ready as you pass south of Lake Okeechobee; the patterns of the Everglades are most distinct from this side. For the typical westbound approach into MIA, the right side gives a perfect bird's-eye view of the city's western suburbs.

St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge
Expansive coastal marshes and pine flatwoods stretching along the Apalachee Bay immediately after departure.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's 'Inland Sea,' a massive freshwater lake that dominates the horizon as the flight moves into South Florida.
Fort Lauderdale Skyline
A clear view of the dense coastal development and high-rises of the 'Gold Coast' during the initial descent.
Downtown Miami
Depending on the approach pattern, the iconic skyline and Biscayne Bay are often visible as the plane turns for final.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side is better for spotting the developed Atlantic coastline and the massive scale of Lake Okeechobee. If the plane approaches MIA from the east (over the ocean), the left side provides a stunning view of the beaches.
