ON THE WATER
A
lthough Flagler Beach has a population of just around 5,000 people, it
attracts thousands to its shores year-round. The area is known for its hip
vibe and near-perfect waves, making it ideal for surfing. Bring your own
board or rent one to hang ten like a pro. Local surf shops offer lessons with surf
camps held each summer to teach the basics. After a day riding the waves,
refresh by grabbing a bite to eat at Tortuga’s Florida Kitchen & Bar, serving up
fresh food and tasty drinks with an oceanview. And, you’re sure to catch more
than a wave when you spend time browsing the local boutiques and shops like
the Flagler Beach Gift Shop that dot the coastline in Flagler Beach.
