Flagler Beach is its own city, but it’s the beach Palm Coast lives with. A1A runs the length of a low-rise downtown: the pier, surf shops, oceanfront restaurants, and cinnamon-colored sand. People move to Palm Coast for the neighborhoods and drive 15 minutes here for the water. Parking is free, the skyline stays short, and sunrise is a local sport.
