I love the warm tropical sun and running my hands though the soft sand on the beach. I love making sand castles and feeling the ocean water seep in around my toes. I love beach chairs and beach umbrellas.
Oh yes, and did I mentioned I love the beach?
Flagler Beach is located on the Atlantic Ocean roughly 20 miles north of world famous Daytona Beach. It’s much less crowded and touristy though, and much more of a small town local beach. If getting away from the hub-bub is what you’re looking for, this is your beach. It’s a little over an hour’s drive northeast of Orlando and about the same distance due south of Jacksonville.

Just returned from Fla. visited the granddaughters down near Palm Beach area. So pretty but so crowded! I enjoy the ride down looking at all the billboards especially enjoy the tourist stops to see all the pretty Florida things to buy s d see the baby gators! We did see one sunning itself in a canal by the road!

I saw lots of gators when we took a boat tour of St. John’s River. If you haven’t done that yet I would highly recommend it!

There are several different boat tour companies along the river… this is the one we took out of Deland… https://blueheronrivertours.com/index.php. It was very enjoyable, saw lots of gators and other wildlife, and luckily the weather was great that day.

We discovered Flagler Beach last summer. We loved it! Not too many small beach towns like it left in Florida. I hope it doesn’t get discovered.

Me too. In talking to a few of the residents there I think they do what they can to keep the area small and quiet. I certainly hope it stays that way.
