If the weather is clear and you stand at sea level, a person of average height can see about 4-5 km, or ~3 miles.

The visible distance varies greatly however as it’s very dependent on weather conditions, if the sea is calm etc. Also your height will have an impact. A longer person will see further than a short person.
