The dunes feel almost sculpted by time, covered in sea oats that sway just enough to make the whole place feel peaceful. What I love most is that it's a relaxed spot where animals and their owners can simply exist without all the usual chaos of a crowded beach. You see people walking their dogs along the sand or letting them explore the edges of the dunes, and the whole scene feels calm and genuine. Even as someone who doesn't have a dog myself, I like watching those little moments where animals seem perfectly content and humans look just as relaxed. I think that's why Old Salt Park sticks with me. It's not trying to be a polished postcard beach. It's a little wild, a little rugged, and completely unbothered by perfection. The kind of place where nature feels honest and the atmosphere feels easy. It gives you room to breathe, to think, to just take in the view without any pressure. And even without a dog, I can appreciate a place that lets people and their pets be themselves. It's peaceful in a way you don't find everywhere, and that simple, natural beauty is what makes it meaningful to me. there is a great FREE place to park nearby.. or you can park for free at the resort and just walk

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.

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!

The colors and style were very warm. The table was sturdy and set with eight chairs. I don't like fake plants, and the place had them in every room, but it is just a taste difference. Many of the table ornaments were boxes that my kids kept wanting to put things in, eep, very nervous that we would leave something behind because kids hid it. The kitchen was very nice to use with bowls and spoons for cereal, glasses for water or wine, mugs for coffee, a full sized coffee maker in the room, dishwasher and a full sized fridge. With a grocery store just down the road, it was easy to fill the fruit basket-pantry-fridge with everything we needed. The kid bedrooms were decorated beach or nautical and had their own sinks but shared a tub/toilet part of the bathroom. Pocket doors made the tight bathroom spaces less snug. The master bedroom was lovely of course. The mattress was certainly not one I'd want at home but worked fine for a week. Ceiling fans all over kept the rooms cool and air fresh. The patio was really cool during rain but totally useless otherwise because of mosquitos. The ceiling fan outside probably helped but walking on thousands of dead bugs to sit outside didn't appeal to me. The night we checked in, we found a couple maintenance issues, and a very nice man was able to help us the next morning. Housekeeping kept us in towels and took out trash every day. They were great. Maybe it's a California thing, but I had a real problem throwing out cans and bottles. They don't have a way to recycle.
