What is the distance to the horizon that you can see the farthest from the sea?

I wonder how much you can roughly do.

If I were to calculate it simply...
Consider the Earth's radius of 6370km (=63700m), and assume a human eye level of 170cm (=1.7m).

in the event of doing so
((6370000+1.7)^2 - 6370000^2)^(1/2) = 4653.82m
It's going to be it.

So it's about 4.65 km.
