About Flagler Beach

Tucked between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, this tiny community is a beach lover's dream come true. One of the few remaining pockets of Florida that has yet to be developed with condos and high-rise buildings, Flagler Beach is a perfectly preserved slice of Old Florida. The stretch of Highway A1A that runs through Flagler Beach is one of the last places in the country where one drives right next to the ocean. One of the most enchanting aspects of Old Florida – the abundant flora and fauna – are on display here. Bulow Plantation is a top attraction for bird watchers, while visitors to Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area between the months of May and September will catch sea turtles as they lay their eggs.

Flagler Beach boasts the third largest break along Florida's coast, making this town a major hangout for wave-hungry surfers. The beaches are patrolled by lifeguards during the summer months, and Flagler Beach Pier provides ample space for those folks whose idea of paradise involves spending all day in the sunshine, casting and reeling in hopes of catching the Big One. A fun way to spend a day in Flagler Beach is to rent a bicycle and ride it around town. Nineteen miles of bike trail run alongside A1A, while a bike friendly boardwalk runs through a local park.
