Spring Activities in Palm Coast, Florida
From strolls in scenic parks to fresh food and outdoor adventures galore, Flagler Beach was made for easygoing fun in the months leading up to summer.
Surround Yourself with Flowers
This time of year, blossoms are in full bloom. Take a short drive to Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens, where winding paths lead past waterfalls, botanical beauty, and butterfly (or even turtle) sightings. Or venture a bit farther to Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens, where whimsical dinosaur statues lounge beneath giant willow trees.
Browse the Farmers Market
Warm temps mean the Flagler Beach Farmers Market is open year-round, but all that fresh, locally grown produce is at its most enticing during spring time. Stroll among the rows of colorful fruits and vegetables, enjoy live music and free samples and treasure hunt for the perfect souvenir.
Savor a Sunny Brunch
Spring is brunch season, and the beach is the best place to spend it. Sleep in on the weekends and roll into Boozy Brunch Sundays at Compass Flagler, where you can enjoy all you can eat breakfast buffets, fresh mimosas and Bloody Marys with laid-back vibes.
Hit the Golf Course
The sun is out and just the right temperature to work on your swing. Explore the lush golf courses of Palm Coast Florida and get in a game or two before heading back to your favorite Flagler Beach hotel for a different kind of leisure. A complimentary breakfast every morning makes it easy to make your tee time.
Birdwatch, Beach Style
Springtime offers some of the best birdwatching on the Palm Coast. Head over to the salt mashes of Betty Steflik Preserve to spot herons, osprey and perhaps even a pelican or two.
Picnic on the Beach
Picnics in the park are nice, but picture yourself spreading out a beach blanket, grabbing some Flagler Beach eats and feasting while watching the waves. Burgers on the beach and sand between your toes beats sandwiches any day.
