Flagler Beach Pier Surf Guide
Heading south from St. Augustine, you'll pass Marineland before entering Frieda Zamba and Will Tant's home of Flagler Beach, a relaxed beach town with one true break, the Flagler Beach Pier. Crowds aren't too bad, and if you show some respect, you'll be welcome. Act like an idiot, get treated like an idiot. The break here changes with the seasons but is fairly easy to read when you pull up.
