Sharky’s Newsletter
Holiday’s are always something special to celebrate in recreation. Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day are coming up fast, here are a few activities going on during these very special days.
Memorial Day is on the way. During your stay don’t forget to stop and make your very own tie-dye t-shirt. During this special weekend, feel free to participate in our beach and pool games where there is some fun for everyone. During the evening, pull up a chair and enjoy the glow of a Beach Fire under the stars.
July is jumpin’, so come and celebrate 4th of July with a boom. There are many events for your enjoyment. There will be a patriotic parade around the Plantation and a spectacular air show! To wrap up the night, walk down to the beach and enjoy the sparkling display of fireworks over the ocean!
The end of summer is near when Labor Day is here. How low can you go? Come and take part in our annual Labor Day Limbo contest! If limbo is not your thing find some fun with family bingo. There will be a wacky water balloon challenge to end the day.
We also have exhilarating events for teens. Teens explorers can have the opportunity build their own boat. See if you can make an unsinkable boat out of cardboard, tape, saran wrap and two floats. Other teen activities range from sporting challenges and beach games to trips around Fernandina and Jacksonville. Check out the resort guide for more details.
Recreation also has a variety of activities and crafts everyday. The Beach Club has a lot to offer in the summer months. Stop by to eat, drink, swim, relax and create memories you will never forget.
