Evening on the Intracoastal in Port Orange, FL

I was coming to Beachside from Port Orange, one of the nicest cities of Greater Daytona. It is a very popular place to live among locals. Not so much with tourists, as it is mostly on the mainland.

Our daily dose of rain was already over, but the sun did not make it into the clearing, and just gave those awesome highlights to the clouds firing the edges...

I got off Dunlawton Bridge and drove to the north side to see the sunset. On the quiet surface of the river there was a group of young women on paddle boards. I thought that this was a college team, but the girl told me that they just happened to know the owner of Daytona Paddle Board Jeanette Hopkins, and it was for fun. Judging by the size of the group, Jeanette has a lot of friends and they all had fun out there. Isn't it always about who you know? J

I stayed and waited for sun going under the clouds and make a beautiful sunset, but it was not my day. While waiting, I watched the love game of these birds.

The sun finally went lower and tried to make it through the haze. I left a gorgeous golden runner on the water, and I was watching jet skis making pirouettes on the still waters of the Intracoastal.

Port Orange is an excellent city to settle in Daytona Beach Area. Best schools in the area attract young professionals making it the fastest growing city in Daytona metro area.
