Visitor Guide
It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Palm Coast and the Flagler Beaches! High temperatures cool into the 70s, perfect for an afternoon on the beach, and the shorter days make our spectacular oceanside sunrises easier to see in the morning. Slow down, relax and spend your “Holidays in a Hammock” with a family getaway here. Discover all the ways we’re celebrating this special season:
Submit the best photos of your Flagler adventures for a chance to win a gift box filled with goodies from around our destination. The “Fa-La-La-La-Flagler Photo Contest” runs from Nov. 16 through Dec. 7 with voting to take place the following week. Prizes will be awarded for four different categories of photos, including “Beach Scenes,” “Nature & Wildlife,” “Dogs Dig Flagler” and “Food & Drink.” We can’t wait to see your take on our destination! Click here for contest details.
As the sun sets and night settles in, enjoy a scenic drive with your family along Florida State Road A1A to see Flagler’s businesses and residences illuminated with holiday lights. Roll the windows down, smell the sea air and take in a festive landscape unlike anywhere else on the Florida coast; make sure to pick up a complimentary pair of 3-D glasses from select Flagler businesses to enhance the experience. If you can’t make it this year but still want to get in on the holiday cheer, follow us on Facebook for a tour of Flagler’s best holiday decorations later this season. Starry Nights in Flagler Beach kicks off on December 4th.

Whether you’re joining us for a getaway or are here with us in spirit, enjoy the holiday beach tunes we’ve compiled on the “Holidays in a Hammock” playlist on Spotify.
