Unofficial Spotting Locations

Constitution Beach

Constitution Beach is located immediately northwest of the approach end of Runway 22R. It is most easily accessible by taking the MBTA Blue Line to Orient Heights, and then walking straight south along the road which runs right alongside the Outbound side of the station, until you hit Constitution Beach Park. This location offers great views if arrivals are on the 22's, or if departures are on the 4's, and, to a slightly lesser extent, if the traffic is reversed (22 departures or 4 arrivals). This means that, while you may not be able to shoot both departures and arrivals simultaneously, you're almost guaranteed some action. If you follow the beach far south enough, you can get nice side-on shots of aircraft on taxiway November (usually the large aircraft taxi down to the far and of the 4's after landing, so they return on this taxiway), and even some shots of arrivals and takeoffs on Runway 15R. In all of these cases, you'll need a telephoto lens to get full-frame shots on a 1.6x DSLR (200+ mm). Also, this location is best in the afternoon, as the sun is behind you.
