Orange Park
The town of Orange Park is a great bedroom small town in a big town location. You can be amid the bird and tree sanctuary, shopping at the mall, getting your hair done or just walking in the sweet summer breezes to many restaurants. The adjacent bike path is great and don't forget to put an order in at The Oyster Coop for a great treat of a half bushel around $40 (closed Sundays I think). So many great times to enjoy!
Bike riding distance from the Riverhouse and such a treat for those that appreciate a great cup of joe!

Only ten minute drive right past NAS Jax and full of restaurants and funky shops. Hopdinger rooftop bar, Bluefish is great brunch but has 1 hour wait (totally worth it). Hawkers is asian fusion.....great nearby options with breweries too like Fishweir near NAS Jax, or paddle to Wicked Barley
