Top Things to Do Over Labor Day Weekend

Plan a Beach Bonfire

Let us connect you with local partners who can set up a full beach bonfire experience—think cozy chairs, twinkle lights, s’mores kits, and salty ocean breezes. It’s the best way to wrap up a beach day.

Rent a Kayak or Paddleboard

Explore the intracoastal or paddle through calm waters in Flagler and Ormond. Rentals are available by the hour or day, and some homes are just steps away from launch points.

Hit Up Live Music & Local Breweries

The World’s Most Famous Brewery offers live music five nights a week in a totally dog-friendly setting. Ocean Deck and Racing’s North Turn also crank up the music and the views—perfect for a night out after sunset.

Visit the Lighthouse

Climb the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse for sweeping views, then explore the museum grounds with the whole crew. Don’t forget your camera.

Explore Flagler Beach

Take a laid-back afternoon to stroll the shops, walk the pier, and grab lunch with a view. It’s that small-town charm we love to brag about.

Labor Day weekend only comes once a year—but the memories you’ll make will last long after you pack up the cooler and head home.
