Feet from the runways of National Airport, Gravelly Point offers a perfect vantage point of takeoffs and landings. Gravelly point offers plenty of open field to lie down and watch the planes, as well as picnic areas, boating, fishing, and athletic fields. Limited parking is available, so visitors may have to park on nearby grassy areas in order to visit this oft-crowded destination. Bring a blanket, as the grass is usually littered with trash.
