Flagler Beach Pier

Filed under: Northeast Beaches, Photo, Florida — Kirby @ 7:10 pm

The pier has become a Flagler Beach landmark since 1925 with its large “Flagler Beach” sign that’s become a staple of Florida travel guides throughout the years.

The Flagler Beach Municipal Pier also offers pretty good fishing, with good catches of croakers, black drum, sheepshead, flounder, bluefish, a few large kingfish and the occasional tarpon. Originally the pier was about 1,000 feet long, but after being knocked down a few times, it’s currently over 800.

Flagler Beach a unique among Northeast Florida Beaches in that it’s frequented by endangered Right Whales. The Right Whale is frequently sighted during winter months, I’ve seen them just north of the pier once and they’re quite a site.

The Flagler Pier Restaurant offers a great view of the Atlantic and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and of course Florida seafood.
