Palm Coast & Flagler Beach vacation rentals

Flagler Beach is an old-style beach town where A1A runs right along the dunes, so the ocean is in view for most of the drive. The sand has a coppery tint from the crushed coquina shell mixed in, the town is mostly low-rise, and the pier sits at the center of a short, walkable strip of beach bars, surf shops and diners. Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area sits on the south edge of town, with beach on one side of A1A and river on the other.

Palm Coast, just north and west, is a planned city laid out along the Intracoastal Waterway, with saltwater canals, golf courses and long paved trails. Canal homes with docks are common rentals here. On the Palm Coast oceanfront, Washington Oaks Gardens State Park pairs formal gardens with a beach of exposed coquina rock, one of the most unusual shorelines in Florida.
