Back-to-school season is here, but who says summer fun can't continue all year long? Port Orange is the perfect place to explore with loved ones by your side! Just read on to discover a few of our favorite activities to enjoy this season and all year long.

Take a stroll along the Riverwalk

The Port Orange Riverwalk runs through the heart of our bustling community, giving you a beautiful place to admire Halifax River views—the moving water, playful seabirds and gorgeous homes—or simply stroll along for some fresh air. When the family is itching for a reason to get out of the house and unwind (we’ve all been there recently!), it’s the perfect destination for just-because fun.

Get on the water

More keen on cruising the water than simply admiring from the riverfront? Hop on a paddleboard or kayak and experience our local H2O in an all-new way. You can also enjoy a local river cruise, or splash around the shore of a nearby beach like Smyrna Dunes Park (a dog-friendly destination so the whole family, furry members included, can get involved!).

Enjoy DIY mini golf

Mini golf is a great way to get the family together for some classic fun! You don’t need to travel very far to enjoy it—turn disposable cups, cardboard boxes and other odds and ends from your home to a colorful, whimsical mini golf escape right in your own backyard.

Have a family backyard picnic…

Your backyard is also the perfect place to unwind with a family picnic! But don’t feel the need to assemble the menu yourself—Peach Valley Café Port Orange has you covered with favorites like Sandwiches and Salads for a breezy lunch, or Pancakes, Chicken & Waffles and French Toast for a beautiful brunch al fresco. Pair your picnic with your favorite Peach Valley beverages or make a homemade, refreshing concoction of your own (you can’t go wrong with a pitcher of ice water infused with watermelon, basil and mint).

… or an epic outdoor movie night

As the sun starts to set, the family fun doesn’t have to end. If you have a white, blank wall by your patio (or even a sheet you can hang up), you already have the “screen” needed to project a favorite family film and have an outdoor movie night! This is sure to become a new favorite tradition, one that will only get better and better as temperatures start to cool down this fall.

We hope that these ideas help you find family fun everywhere you look, this season and throughout the year! And of course, be sure to pair your family activities with the flavorful fuel you need from Peach Valley Café Port Orange.
