Palm Coast Florida Beaches
Published on April 28, 2014

It was a frigid and ice cold winter for most of the northern states in America, but one of the best beach towns in Florida is going to be the hippest and coolest location again for the 2014 spring and summer. Flagler Beach has been known by locals as one of the coolest small towns in the state of Florida for a while, but last year it caught the media’s attention. Budget Travel nominated Flagler Beach as one of “America’s Coolest Small Towns in 2013”. 

The tiny town which consists of 4,484 residents and is tucked between the busy city of Jacksonville and the tourist location of Daytona, is a hidden gem along Flagler Beach. Palm Coast relocation information highlights the natural preservation initiatives for sea turtles, birds and right whales. Residents rave about the laid-back atmosphere and dog friendly beaches that are just as beautiful as they were before the turn of the century. 

There is another thing that keeps residents rooted in this beach paradise and entices tourists to visit each year– the local entertainment. Every month, the coolest small towns across America are ready to celebrate an endless summer and Flagler Beach is no different.
