TREAT YOUR TASTEBUDS

Who doesn’t love a good brew and classic Southern-American fare with an Asian twist? If that pairing sounds a little out there to you, don’t worry—one meal at Beacon and you’ll soon be singing a different tune. Known around town for its savory eats and eccentric, delicious brews, the cuisine at Beacon Brewing Co. is otherworldly (in a very good way).

WATCH THE SUN SET

Located within a 458-acre park on West Point Lake, Pyne Road Park is the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset before doing some night fishing! With wide open green space all the way up to the shore, the view of the sun over the lake’s horizon is unimpeded. Pack a few snacks, embrace a moment of serenity and prepare for the lake’s nightlife to come alive!

Plan to spend 2-3 hours on the water once you take off, so don’t forget the sunscreen and plenty of water!

Featuring over 70 species from around the world, you’ll want to carve out some time for an adventure at Wild Animal Safari! Take your own vehicle or rent a zebra van and travel through the 3.5-mile drive experience, getting up-close and personal with a variety of animals. When you purchase tickets, be sure to purchase bags of grass pellets. You’ll be able to feed giraffes, buffalo, zebras and more from the palm of your hand!
