Welcome to Flagler Beach Parks!

There are several beautiful parks in the Flagler Beach area. Visitors to the parks can do everything from swimming in the warm, clear waters of the Atlantic to hiking pine flatwoods.

Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area

Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Inter-coastal Waterway, this 144-acre park offers coastal camping, picnicking, swimming, fishing, and nature study. The daily low tide is an ideal time to observe the shore birds feeding in tidal ponds, and summer months bring sea turtles to lay their eggs in the sand.

Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park in Bunnell

The Sugar Mill Ruins is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. Visitors can either drive the loop road or walk the nature trail to the sugar mill. The nature trail passes through a stand of "catfaced" pines that were worked for turpentine prior to World War II. The Interpretive Center has original artifacts and exhibits on Bulow Plantation.

Washington Oaks Gardens State Park in Palm Coast

The Atlantic Ocean and the Matanzas River provide the natural boundaries for the 410 acres of coastal scenery that comprise Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. Ocean waves have washed away the sand, exposing coquina rock and creating a picturesque boulder-strewn beach. At low tide, many shore birds feed and rest around the peaceful tidal pools. Visitors can enjoy picnicking, fishing and walking through the ornamental gardens and along the river.
