Flagler Beach
a low-key beach town at the byway’s southern end
Flagler Beach is one of the places Roamward flags on the A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway because it gives the drive its texture: a low-key beach town at the byway’s southern end. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.

The A1A Coastal Byway runs Ponte Vedra Beach → Flagler Beach, FL. Florida’s Atlantic coast past the oldest U.S. city.
