The untouched beaches and tranquil waterways make Flagler County a Florida treasure.  Nestled midway between world famous Daytona Beach and historic St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, Flagler County is bordered on the east by 19 miles of untouched beaches on the Atlantic Ocean.  Flagler’s Exit 284 on Interstate 95 is the closest exit to the beach from Maine to Miami. 

It is fondly spoken of as the Quiet Side of Florida, with reminiscence of “old Florida”.  The story of Flagler is one that is deeply embedded in American History.  The area, established as Flagler County in 1917, survived the Seminole Wars and Civil War.  The County was named for Henry Morrison Flagler, railroad tycoon and developer of Florida’s East Coast.

The Natural Flagler is a side of Florida often forgotten amid the clutter of theme parks and large cities.  Flagler is a place for visitors to retreat and escape the frenzy of daily life.  An array of city, county and state parks and preserves are located in and around Flagler where your days can move slowly as you choose or be filled with a world of discovery.  You and your family can discover the beauty of Flagler County by kayaking, canoeing, hiking, biking, equestrian trail riding, bird watching, fishing, a leisurely drive on one of our scenic byways, visiting our museums  and attractions or just relaxing on our untouched beaches.

You will fall in love with its quaint and friendly beach community, Flagler Beach sitting on the Atlantic Ocean offering six blocks of unique shops, restaurants with a variety of cuisine in collective ambiances and range of lodging opportunities from a luxury oceanfront resort to bed & breakfasts.
