Puerto Rico. But I haven't jumped at any of the other places so I can't say where to put it. Also, the Fl Keys.

Skydive Miami has awesome scenery.

I've heard Kapowsin is really nice too.

yes on the kpow, but I think Snohomish is the best....that I've seen anyway.

my pics & stuff!

Ogden in Utah has the Wasatch Mountains on one side and the Great Salt Lake on the other. Pretty awesome there.

Skydive Moab, I can imagine is great too.

Skydive The Rockies near the Royal Gorge is real cool too.

I've been to a couple of the DZs on that list that I thought were great DZs, but as far as scenic, I didn't think they were all that.

coastal carolina
the intracoastal is at the end of the runway you get a good view of the beach and a lighthouse in freefall

Pitt Meadows in Canada is gorgeous. Nice folks as well.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Marathon Key, Florida.

Emerald Coast Beach Jumps over the Gulf.

I totally agree with Titusville, I would have ranked it higher than Sebastian though.

I've only been to one, and usually to its neighbor that is more welcoming to upjumpers. The change in scenic value isn't that great, at least not 6 months of the year when the hills are green.

I'm sure there are many more scenic, but small, DZs out there.

You need to come check out the NEW DZ in Mount Vernon WA... we are in the Skagit River Delta....flying out over the San Juan Islands.. and Camano Island and we are just south of Mt Baker. To the East of the Dropzone is the North Cascades National Park. You can see the Olympic Mountains over to the SW of the DZ...

You gotta see it to believe it. ( Plus the Porter has HUGE windows for gawking the scenery and only takes 12 minutes to get to 14K)

Skydive Alaska, especially when you can see McKinley and the nearby glaciers and lakes.

Great...Skydive Zion - tandem operation only

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Especially with Skydive Moab now in operation. Seems it would be a better choice.

i think the best place in the world would be queenstown new zealand, it is not the states i know but this is lakes and jumping next to snow capped mountains that are where they filmed the opening scene of LOTR 2, 7000 feet snow capped mountains and you jump next to them over a lake, amazing

If you think Snohomish is beautiful, and it is, you should check out Northwest Skydivers at Conway (just south of Mt. Vernon). Mountains, valley, rivers and the islands. Eye-popping views!

Pitt Meadows, B.C. Canada
Mountain, river, Pacific ocean, view of downtown....etc.

Skydive Elsinore....looking out over the lake, sweet!

[Squeak 17]

Any of the DZ over the Great Barrier Reef

How's yours doing?

I'd say that some of the DZs in France or Switzerland deserve mentioning. Gruyeres is a fantastic setting. And Annemasse is spectaculary located. Having Mt. Blanc on one side and Lake Geneva on the other in free fall is just beautiful.

saipan, a small tropical island,{us protectorate}is by far the most beautiful spot i have jumped at. contrasting colours from the waters on the reef , and pure white sands , are amazing.
tinian , rota, and guam are also visible from height

[Squeak 17]

Steve Baker would probably agree with you.

If you decide to expand this list internationally, check out Pitt Meadows, BC. Ocean, Mountains, City... definitely a breathtaking spot.

[Rick 67]

I didn't know they had closed I made a few jumps ther 2 years ago very nice people.

Sebastian does have a great view
I think they do beach jumps once in a while also
