Anchorage

Lake Hood Seaplane Base is the largest float plane airport in the world!
The world’s busiest seaplane base, located on Lake Hood and Lake Spenard near downtown Anchorage, AK.
Enjoying the beach! #Adventure
Good place for a panoramic shot of downtown Anchorage with the mountains in the background.  I like it here best during winter months.

Easy access.  Lots of parking.  Great during sunset.  You could take pictures from the overlook or walk down to the water.
