SKYDIVING!!! You've heard the word, seen pictures of parachutes, and perhaps seen people in free fall. To almost everyone it looks like fun, but the thought of leaping out of an airplane inhibits many from trying it. For those that have always wanted to fly like a bird, to experience flight in its truest form, SKYDIVING is it!
See Florida's Treasure Coast as even the area's millionaires do not. Head three hours north of Miami for a panoramic freefall that includes birds-eye views of the Atlantic Ocean and Sebastian Inlet. Take your first jump ever or train for team competition at Skydive Sebastian - immodestly billed the "World's Most Scenic Drop Zone." The facilities serve as the main campus for Skydive University, which operates a Super Otter and two Twin Otters and teaches everyone from beginners to the most advanced competition divers. Train for your first tandem, then take the plunge from 10,000 feet.

Visit the world's most comprehensive collection of works by the late Spanish surrealist. Come see why the Michelin Guide gave us the only "Three Star Rating on Florida's West "Coast!
The Salvador Dalí Museum is the permanent home of the world's most comprehensive collection of the renowned Spanish artist's work. Compiled by the A. Reynolds Morse and Eleanor Morse over a 45-year period, it is celebrated for its 96 oil paintings.
With oils spanning from 1917 through 1970, the collection provides an excellent overview of Dalí's major themes and symbols. Characterized by its diversity, it includes the Impressionist and Cubist styles of his early period, abstract work from his transition to Surrealism, the famous surrealist canvases for which he is best known, and examples of his preoccupation with religion and science during his classic period.
In addition to the 96 oil paintings, the collection includes over 100 watercolors and drawings, 1,300 graphics, photographs, sculptures and objects d'art, and an extensive archival library. Periodic rotations of the collection and special exhibitions allow museum goers to view new work on repeat visits.
The museum, in it’s current state, will be open for another few years until their new museum opens in 2011. The new structure will be bigger, with more works of art, and the building itself will be a work of art based on Dali’s unique approach to art. With Dali's surrealistic art you can take a number of meanings from each piece and apply them to your own life. Living in metaphor is something Dali does very well.
The Museum store remains open 1/2 hour after closing on the following days:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
