The Perfect Girls’ Getaway in Flagler Beach
If you and your besties are looking for a place to unwind, explore, and pamper yourselves, Flagler Beach is the perfect coastal oasis. Staying at The Beach Front Motel gives you a front-row seat to six miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches and all the charm this laid-back beach town has to offer. Here’s your guide to a rejuvenating girls' getaway in this small-town slice of paradise.
1. Hit the Beach
It goes without saying, but you’ve got to start with Flagler’s main attraction: the beach! With soft sand and endless ocean views, this spot is ideal for sunbathing, strolling along the shore, or diving into the waves. Whether you’re all about catching some sun, taking Instagram-worthy selfies on the sand, or just listening to the surf, our beaches are your personal paradise. Heck, while you're at the beach, maybe try a little surfing.
2. Brewery & Winery Stops
When you’re ready for a little refreshment, Flagler Beach has you covered! Start at Coquina Coast Brewing Company, where the craft beer is brewed on-site and the vibe is all about local flavor. Try the Beach Bonfire S’mores Stout for something rich and unique, or sip on the Coastal Strand Double IPA. If you’re in the mood for some vino, Flagler Beachfront Winery is just down the way. Known for its wine slushies (a must-try in the Florida heat), this winery offers a range of wines from around the world. Relax on their patio with an ocean view and soak up that coastal charm.
3. Spa Day Bliss
A girls' getaway wouldn’t be complete without a bit of pampering! Treat yourselves to a luxurious day spa experience at Ocean Bliss Day Spa or Allure European Day Spa. Go for facials, massages, or body treatments—you deserve it! If you’re in the mood for something a little more unique, check out 811 Salt and Vine for their oxygen bar, infrared sauna, and halotherapy in their amazing salt cave. It’s the ultimate relaxation experience.
4. Horseback Riding on the Beach
For an unforgettable adventure, head out with Equestrian Adventures of Florida for a horseback ride right on the sand. Imagine the sun dipping over the horizon as you and your friends ride along the beach, waves lapping at your horses’ hooves. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
5. Paddle Through Pristine Waters
Flagler Beach is known for its waterways, so get a new perspective by paddling through them. Companies like Tropical Kayaks or Ripple Effect Ecotours offer kayak, canoe, and SUP rentals and guided group tours. For something extra special, try Get Up and Go Kayaking with their crystal-clear kayaks, letting you see the beauty of the water below as you paddle.
6. Sunset Tiki Boat Cruise
What could be better than a sunset cruise with your friends? Palm Tiki Adventures offers a fun tiki boat experience along the Intracoastal Waterway. Bring your own drinks and snacks, kick back, and watch for dolphins and manatees as you drift along. It’s a memorable way to end the day with plenty of laughter and stunning views.
7. Shop Till You Drop
The shopping scene in downtown Flagler Beach is full of charm and unique finds. For six blocks along Central Avenue, you’ll find an array of independent stores and galleries. From handmade gifts at A Scent to Remember to beach-inspired art at Flagler Surf Art and Stuff and gourmet teas at Flagler Tea Company, there’s a little something for everyone.
8. Savor the Local Food Scene
Flagler Beach is a foodie’s dream! Head to Golden Lion Café or High Tides at Snack Jack for fresh seafood with an ocean view, or try Romero’s Tuscany by the Sea for authentic Italian flavors. If you’re craving a steak, Crave’s Coastal Kitchen and Cocktails is known for its hand-cut steaks, and FARO Beachside Eatery serves up scratch-made modern Italian dishes. Top it all off with dessert—stop by Surfside Shakes or The Waffle Cone for a sweet treat. You can't say no to ice cream at the beach with your BFFs!
