Flagler Pier sits in the laid-back beach town of Flagler Beach, where the pier structure shapes sandbars into consistent lefts and rights. On low incoming tide, a secondary outer sandbar produces good waves; at high tide, expect thumping shorebreak. The distinctive coquina sand gives the beach a cinnamon color. A 150-foot no-surf zone flanks each side of the pier.
