Flagler Beach

A1A Ocean Shore Scenic Highway spans a seven mile stretch of Flagler County’s beach between quiet Flagler Beach and Beverly Beach. A bicycle/pedestrian path parallels the scenic corridor and provides recreation for the cyclist, jogger and peace loving stroller. The A1A River & Sea Trail Scenic Highway takes in Palm Coast and the historic town of Marineland, site of the world’s first “oceanarium,” opened in 1938 and fed by waters from the Atlantic Ocean.

Mammoth sea turtles nest along this traffic free, all natural coastline. Anglers catch fish from Flagler Beach Pier and surfers catch waves. Two state parks line the beach. Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area is cradled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway for the pleasure of campers, picnickers, swimmers and shorebirds. Huge coquina boulders and peaceful ornamental gardens distinguish the beach and Matanzas riverfront at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. Once a plantation, its pedigree can be traced back to our first president’s family.

Bayside, marshlands and estuaries harbor rare and endangered birds along Florida’s Great Birding Trail, such as the roseate spoonbill, wood stork, great blue heron and osprey. Dolphins play in the wake of passing boats and manatees herd in the waterway during spring and summer. Eco-tours on water and land introduce you to the rife wildlife, or take you on one of the nature trails in local parks and preserves.

Oranges, sugar and steamboats created the small coastal and inland towns in these parts and their preserved downtowns recall the heyday. For a taste of bygones in and around Flagler Beach and Bunnell, stroll Flagler Beach Historical District and Museum, the Holden House Museum, Bulow Plantation Ruins State Park and the Florida Agricultural Museum – an outdoor, living history park currently under development. Charming outdoor restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfast inns have taken up residence in other historic structures. An old-fashioned Farmer’s Market convenes on Fridays.
