You spawn in plains on the edge of a large lake, in open ground that is easy to build on but not dramatic. The reward is the short walk after that: a ruined portal sits about 220 blocks east, a shipwreck about 204 blocks north-east, and the Nether fortress is only about 112 blocks from your spawn portal.
