Things to do

Beach, boats, trails, and a courtyard

Flagler County still has an uncrowded Atlantic, seventy miles of canals, and parks that aren’t an afterthought.

Start here

Flagler Beach

Six blocks, cinnamon sand, free parking on A1A. The pier is mid-rebuild through early 2027. The town stayed open the whole time.

Coast

Cinnamon sand, a fishing pier, and a downtown that still fits on A1A.

Parks

Formal gardens, live oaks, and a coquina-rock Atlantic beach.

Water

Outfitters will drop a boat. The water does the rest.

Golf

Nicklaus on the Atlantic, Watson in the oaks — Palm Coast was built for this.

Town

Dinner, live music, and a Sunday market in one courtyard.

Parks

Princess Place and the county preserves — Florida without a fairway.

Coast

A rare rocky Atlantic beach that doesn’t look like the rest of Florida.

Water

Rent a pontoon and cruise past the Hammock estates.

Saturday market in Flagler Beach. Sunday market at European Village. Pick a pier sunset if you only have time for one ritual.

Washington Oaks in the morning, Flagler Beach for lunch, a pontoon on the Intracoastal if the weather holds.

The lettered sections have parks most newcomers never find. Start with Princess Place and a city trail along the parkway.
