ECP

When landing at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 34 means you're flying north, so the left side faces west toward West Bay and its marshy shoreline. You'll get a good look at the bay's waterways and pine forest coastline as you descend, which is more visually interesting than the right side's inland pine flatwoods. Notable sights include: West Bay, Intracoastal Waterway inlets, coastal pine forests, glimpses of the Gulf of Mexico coastline during the turn to final.
