Apollo 11 Landing Site - NASA Science
Forty years after the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured this image of the descent stage of the Eagle lunar module.
science.nasa.govShort answer: Apollo 11 landed on the Moon at the Tranquility Base in the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis) on July 20, 1969, and the crew landed back on Earth in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969. The landing site on the Moon is often referred to as the Tranquility Base, near the Sabine crater region, and is visible in lunar reconnaissance imagery today.[1][2][4]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest publicly available details or maps showing the exact lunar coordinates and provide a simple visualization of the site relative to nearby features.

The Lunar Module, nicknamed Eagle and flown by Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, touched down near the southern rim of the Sea of Tranquility, one of the large, dark basins that contribute to the Man in the Moon visible from Earth. Armstrong and Aldrin spent about two hours outside the LM setting up experiments and collecting samples. At one point, Armstrong ventured east of the...
