🌴 11 Days Across Florida – Day 3: Flagler Beach & Daytona Beach
We left St. Augustine in the morning and headed south toward Daytona Beach, making a few stops along the way.
Our first stop was Flagler Beach. What I loved most was how relaxed and uncrowded it felt compared to many other Florida beach towns. If you're looking for a quieter beach lifestyle with ocean views and a small-town feel, it's definitely worth a visit.
Next, we stopped at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. We didn't climb to the top, but we enjoyed walking around and exploring the area. It's definitely worth a stop if you're visiting Daytona Beach.
From there, we continued to Daytona Beach. We spent some time on the beach, enjoyed the water, and then walked over to the famous Daytona Beach Boardwalk.
We stayed at Daytona Grande Oceanfront Resort, which had beautiful ocean views and an amazing infinity pool overlooking the beach. We spent some time relaxing by the pool before getting ready for dinner.
For dinner, we ate at Cucina Italiana. If you're looking for authentic Italian food in the Daytona area, this is a must-stop. We had an early dinner there, and it was one of our favorite meals of the entire trip.
🏡 As a Realtor, Flagler Beach really stood out to me. It has that classic Old Florida feel with a laid-back atmosphere, walkable areas, local restaurants, and miles of beautiful coastline.
I can definitely see why people who love the beach and a slower pace of life choose to call Flagler Beach home.
Stay tuned for Day 4! 😊
