Flagler Beach Pier at Sunrise

This photo was taken about a quarter mile south of the Flagler Pier on a crystal clear morning at sunrise. It was cool that morning so the air was crisp and clear.

As you can see in the photo, Flagler Beach is made up of brown sand unlike Daytona Beach where white sand is brought in from other locations to make it more attractive. You won’t see nearly as many people on the beach here as in Daytona Beach or Ormond Beach.

If you like quiet beaches, this is the place. To get this shot, we walked down about a 20 foot stairway to the beach. As you can see from the footprints, there were a few early morning walkers out. We waited for a couple with their dog to pass and then were greeted by a woman jogging.

To get to this spot, go up A1A from Daytona Beach or Ormond Beach. It’s a nice drive, especially on a morning like this one. You can also come up I-95 and exit at SR100 and go east to Flagler Beach. The pier is right at the intersection of SR100 and A1A.

If you go later in the day, there’s a very good restaurant a short drive south from the pier call Martins. If you’re in the area when they’re open, you can get a very nice meal at reasonable prices.

I have a listing for a luxury Flagler Beach home for sale not far from this location. It’s a magnificent home and worth a peek, even if you are not in the luxury market.

Although most of my sales have been of Daytona Beach real estate in the past year, we also sell in Palm Coast and Flagler Beach. We will be developing our Palm Coast and Flagler Beach business in 2010 with more emphasis on the website. We are in the process of putting that together and will be announcing our new Palm Coast / Flagler Beach section soon.
