Florida's Best Beaches
​
Flagler Beach is considered by many as Florida's finest beach for natural, unspoiled beauty. There are more than 19 miles of uncrowded cinnamon colored sand with plenty of room for sports, fishing or just relaxing in the sun. The vibe is low-key and laid-back. You are more likely to see dolphins and turtles than rowdy spring breakers, and entertainment comes in the form of the colorful characters who populate the town.
-
Pet friendly
-
Great surfing
-
No hi-rise hotels, arcade games, wax museums or roller coasters
