The views are very different, and the better pick comes down to personal preference. From the air, you can see winding waterways, marinas, islands, boats moving through channels, and a side of the area that many beach visitors never notice. Some people enjoy the bay views because there is more to look at. Others prefer the Gulf because of the open water and beach scenery. Neither option is necessarily better. They just provide different experiences. If it is your first parasailing trip in the area, try to lean toward the Gulf because it delivers the iconic coastal views most visitors picture when they think about Orange Beach.
