Again, this is a small park, but it is extremely pleasant and since it is located on a quiet side street, I don't think that it gets a lot of visitors. There is a small children's play and a pavilion with a few picnic tables and a small grill. There is a small parking lot and benches spread throughout the property. The trees offer a nice amount of shade on the property. All in all, this is a great little park. I definitely enjoyed stumbling across this park. While it does not offer the amenities as some larger parks, it is a great park in its own right. I will give this park five stars.

The waves are usually pretty decent and on windy days can get pretty feisty but it is usually pretty mellow and a good place for kids. In fact the whole park impressed me as appealing to kids. Not crazy, drunken and insane kids like Daytona gets at certain times of the year but younger kids that want to play on the beach and in the ocean. Some nice picnic benches, relatively clean bathrooms, drinking fountains and some things for the young ones to play on makes Sun Splash park a nice place for a family outing.

Most of the side trails are blocked by iron gates or logs and disappear from sight after only a few yards. The air is heavy with humidity as the sun peeks in and out of the clouds, the condensate drips from my water bottle tucked in the cup holder and a dragon fly kisses my side window as I navigate at an idle towards the water edge. The only sounds audible as I creep through this forrest are the winding sounds of the super charger and the exhaust from my Jeep "Ole Red". The rumble ends with the turn of the key at the river's edge the silence is only broken by the tidal flow of the St. John's River as it challenges the narrow channel of Dunn Creek. The drizzling rain continues soaking the leafs and underbrush while cleansing the air and awakens the forrest - a gray squirrel scurry's across the foliage jumping on the nearest tree trunk as he scans his territory for intruders. There's a small pier and floating dock to moor your skiff or wet a line, a small branch in the shallows snagged some kids red and white bobber and displays it like a trophy while some fish celebrates. Just when I thought I was the only winner on this fine day I'm humble by nature once again, I guess if a tree falls in the woods it does make a noise even if no arrogant human hears it - this is the kind of place where I find my reset button, I really need to do this more often...

It's also really spongey so it's a good workout just to walk a ways. I felt much more at peace here than some other beaches- it's not as touristy so it's much more chill than some of the more mainstream FL beaches and it's a great change up. There are huge waves- perfect for surfing or boogey boarding. But that being said, the waves hit the shore pretty hard even up close so just something to be aware of if you're bringing kids. They have a big pier to fish off of and bathrooms and rinse station. Right across the street (A1A) all along the road there are dozens of restaurants, shops, and other businesses all within walking distance of the beach, it's so cool and nice to have everything so close by! Flagler is also a half hour from St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, so it's a great place to stay for a few days that's quieter but you can still see more of the coast. I think this is one of the coolest beachtowns I've been to yet. You gotta come here at least once just to experience how different it is!

We take advantage of this a few times a month, our dog absolutely loves the water and sand and it's never crowded. Note that they do require you to keep your pet on a leash but we always bring our long-line leash so he can roam around. As far as the main "boardwalk" area of Flagler, there's plenty to see and do. We like to sit near the pier and watch the surfers catch waves. There's definitely a friendly, old-school hippy-surfer vibe in Flagler that I love. A few fun beach bars that have outside seating with views of the ocean that make for a great lunch spot. One of my favorite things about Flagler is the drive to get there, take the A1A for a scenic ride up (or down) the coast, it's a real crowd-pleaser for out-of-town guests, they'll love the views! Overall, don't miss checking out this little gem of a city, you won't be disappointed.
