Yes. Well, actually it depends on the terrain and the weather. If you're in a deep ravine in the woods in the fog, you may not be able to see more an a few feet, but if you're on a hilltop in good weather, you could easily see a hundred miles or more.
I live near Sacramento, CA. Driving east on Interstate 80 north of town, there are freeway overpasses that rise 20 or 30 feet above the surrounding plain. If the weather is halfway decent, I can easily see the snow-capped mountains in the Sierra Nevada mountains, 80-90 miles to the east.
If you are swimming in the ocean, in calm seas, your horizon is about a half-mile away; you wouldn't be able to see another swimmer any farther away. You could easily see a small boat at a mile, or a larger ship with a taller masthead height at several miles.
This is why the old-time sailing vessels had an observer's station (called the "crow's nest") at the top of the tallest mast, and why modern radar antennas are in the highest part of the ship's superstructure.
