Flagler Beach Without the Pier: Is It Still Worth the Stop?
from Chad Gallivanter · host Chad Gallivanter
The Flagler Beach Pier is gone - and for a lot of people driving past on A1A, that's a reason not to stop. This episode asks whether that assumption is right. Hurricane Ian knocked out the old wooden structure in 2022. What's going up in its place is taller, wider, and built entirely from concrete. But while those pilings go in, the town is still operating - the Saturday farmers market, the Gallery of Local Art, Swillerbees, the Compass Hotel by Margaritaville. Locals are still showing up. Visitors are still finding reasons to pull over. We talk to the people who are here now, watching the build and choosing to stay. This is Flagler Beach before the pier comes back. And the question is whether the town is worth showing up for before it does.🌎 Keep Gallivanting With Me If you liked this story, you’ll love what’s waiting on my YouTube channel: youtube.com/@ChadGallivanter See more photos, behind-the-scenes, and upcoming trips on Instagram: instagram.com/ChadGallivanter More travel stories, history deep-dives, and extras live at: ChadGallivanter.com📬 Questions, ideas, or media requests?
