Flagler Beach is located on Florida's east coast and is one of the few remaining beach towns with less than 5,000 residents. The town is within 90 minutes of Jacksonville, Orlando, Daytona and St. Augustine and features several miles of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. The oceanfront in Flagler Beach is unique because the town does not have any large or commercial buildings along the beach.
Each room at the Barracuda Bay Motel is decorated differently, with themes ranging from NASCAR and biker suites to a Red Hat Society suite. The motel is located on the beachfront, and fishing, golfing, kayaking, whale watching and surfing are available within a few miles. Rooms begin at $60 per night (February 2010 rates) and pets are welcome.
