Nestled on Florida’s Northeast Coast between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, Palm Coast is a family-friendly destination featuring picturesque beaches, parks, museums, and world-class golf courses.
Families of all ages will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Palm Coast’s parks and beaches, where visitors can enjoy the water, fish, hike the trails, paddle, and look for dolphins in the distance. Even four-legged family members can join in the fun — Bay Drive Park, Jungle Hut Park, and MalaCompra Park are all among the area’s pet-friendly beach parks. The city’s location on the Intracoastal Waterway and 70 miles of saltwater and freshwater canals make it an anglers’ paradise, and pier, surf, or shore fishing can yield a variety of desirable species, including snapper, snook, red drum, and flounder.
Among Palm Coast’s can’t-miss parks and attractions are Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, which has lush formal gardens as well as hiking and biking trails, and the Florida Agricultural Museum, where visitors can ride horses, take guided tours of the grounds, see historic buildings, go for wagon rides, and see farm animals up close. Families will also enjoy finding the colourful sea turtle sculptures placed throughout the area along the Flagler County Cultural Council Turtle Trail, which combines public art with a scavenger hunt-style adventure.
