VACATIONS

To save money and avoid crowds while still enjoying a pristine Floridian beach, visit Flagler Beach, which has 6 miles of coastline and is just over 20 miles north of Daytona.
Established in 1925, Flagler Beach has an intriguing history. Tourists can learn more at the Flagler Beach Historical Museum or by taking a self-guided tour of downtown.
Flagler Beach is divided into North and South sections, both of which are pet-friendly. Visitors can surf or kayak on the water before heading into town for some light shopping.
The beach has lots of stunning creatures, including birds, sharks, whales, dolphins, and sea turtles, which can be found nesting on the beach from May to October.
There are lots of places for visitors to stay at Flagler Beach, such as Si Como No Inn, the adults-only Island Cottage Inn, Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa, and more.
