High Adventure · Shirley
Skydive Long Island
The closest dropzone to the Hamptons is not in the Hamptons at all — it flies out of Shirley, about an hour west of East Hampton, so budget the drive into the day. Tandem jumps need no experience and no gear of your own: you are strapped to an instructor, and the whole thing is over in one morning.
