A Slow Sunday in Flagler Beach: Coffee, Beach Walks & Oceanfront Comfort - Wix

There’s a certain kind of Sunday that asks nothing from you.

No alarms. No rushing. No complicated plans. Just the soft sound of waves, salty morning air, and a warm cup of Coffee while the sky turns peach and gold...

That’s the beauty of a slow Sunday in Flagler Beach. And when you stay at Bombora Oceanfront Suites, the day begins with the Atlantic right outside your window.

Here’s our favorite easygoing itinerary for a relaxed beach day: one built around Coffee, Surf, good food, and plenty of time to simply be.

7:00 a.m. Sunrise Coffee With an Ocean View

Wake up when the light begins to spill across the water. At Bombora, every suite offers unobstructed ocean views, so you don’t have to go anywhere to enjoy the first show of the day.

Just open the curtains.

Make Coffee in your full kitchen. Pour it into your favorite travel mug, or better yet, take it outside to the shared ocean-side patio. This is the kind of morning that makes you want to linger in pajamas, listen to the gulls, and watch the beach slowly come to life.

Traveling with family or friends? The full kitchens make breakfast simple. Toast, fruit, pastries, eggs, and plenty of Coffee can all happen at your own pace. No waiting for a table. No waking everyone up to leave the suite. Just a cozy start to the day.

Did I mention the view?

8:00 a.m. Take the Dune Walk-Over to the Beach

Once everyone is ready, head straight to the dune walk-over directly in front of the property.

This is where staying in an oceanfront suite changes everything. You’re not packing the car, crossing busy roads, or walking blocks with towels and beach chairs. You’re just steps from the sand. Just steps from the Surf. Just steps from a quiet Sunday morning on the Atlantic.

Take a slow walk along the shoreline and let the day unfold. Look for shells. Feel the cinnamon-colored sand beneath your feet. Watch pelicans skim the water. If the tide is gentle, pause at the edge and let the waves roll around your ankles.

There’s no right way to do a Flagler Beach walk. Go barefoot. Bring a camera. Hold hands. Let the kids search for treasures. Or simply walk until the Coffee wears off.

9:30 a.m. Brunch or a Second Round of Coffee

By mid-morning, you may be ready for something more substantial than a granola bar. Luckily, Flagler Beach keeps breakfast and brunch wonderfully casual.

For coffee and a classic morning bite, consider a local café such as Java Joint. Swillerbees Craft Donuts and Coffee is another fun option if your ideal Sunday includes a sweet, cinnamon-scented treat. Pick up something to enjoy at the suite, or sit down and let someone else handle breakfast for a change.

Want to stay in and keep things extra slow? That works, too.

One of the best parts of a Florida beach getaway is having options. You can cook in your full kitchen, order something nearby, or stroll to a local café. There’s no schedule to keep and no pressure to turn breakfast into an event.

Just good food. Good Coffee. A little ocean breeze.

11:00 a.m. Walk Toward Flagler Pier

After brunch, make your way toward Flagler Pier. It’s one of the town’s most recognizable landmarks and an easy destination for a relaxed walk, photos, and people-watching.

The pier area is also close to many of the restaurants, bars, cafés, and small shops that give Flagler Beach its retro coastal character. Leave the car parked and explore on foot: one of the reasons Bombora is such a convenient choice among Flagler Beach vacation rentals.

Pier access and conditions can change, especially after storms or repairs, so check local updates before planning to walk all the way out. Even when access is limited, the surrounding beach and oceanfront area are still worth a visit.

And if you’re not ready to leave the water? Don’t. Take the scenic route along the beach and stop whenever the view feels too good to pass up.

12:30 p.m. A Breezy Local Lunch

Sunday lunch in Flagler Beach should be easy, flavorful, and preferably enjoyed with a view.

The Funky Pelican, near the pier, is a popular choice for a casual meal by the water. For fresh seafood, Flagler Fish Company is another local favorite. And if you’re in the mood for classic beach-town energy, Golden Lion Café offers a relaxed setting, seafood, sandwiches, and ocean breezes.

Want something lighter? Pick up lunch and bring it back to Bombora. The shared ocean-side patio is a lovely place to enjoy takeout without giving up the scenery.

No reservations. No formal dress code. No hurry.

Just a salty breeze, a cold drink, and the Atlantic stretching out in front of you.

2:00 p.m., Return to Your Oceanfront Suite

After lunch, it’s time for the best part of a slow Sunday: doing less.

Head back to your suite and settle into a comfortable living area. Stretch out on the Sleeper Sofa with a book, take a nap, or open the windows and listen to the ocean.

Traveling with a group? The extra space makes it easy for everyone to relax in their own way. Someone can watch a movie. Someone else can prepare snacks in the kitchen. Kids can recharge after the beach. Friends can gather around the dining table and talk through the next day’s plans.

And for longer stays, free on-site laundry means you can wash swimsuits, towels, and sandy clothes without making a special trip. It’s a small convenience, but on a beach vacation, small conveniences matter.

4:00 p.m., Patio Time and a Little Local Wandering

As the afternoon softens, grab a seat on the shared ocean-side patio. Bring a cold drink, a book, or absolutely nothing at all.

This is the hour for watching the water change color. The harsh midday brightness fades. The breeze feels cooler. The whole property settles into that peaceful, postcard-worthy rhythm that makes Flagler Beach so special.

If you feel like wandering again, walk back toward town for a second Coffee, a local beer, wine, or Ice Cream. Sally’s Ice Cream is a classic choice for an afternoon treat, especially after another stroll near the beach.

Just steps from the sand. Just steps from a café. Just steps from something sweet.

That’s the Bombora advantage.

6:30 p.m., Sunset, Dinner, and One Last Beach Walk

As evening arrives, take one final walk along the shoreline. Sunday sunsets in Flagler Beach are made for slowing down: soft colors, cooler sand, and waves reflecting the last light of the day.

For dinner, stay close to the pier and choose the place that sounds best in the moment. Golden Lion Café, Funky Pelican, and other nearby restaurants make it easy to enjoy a relaxed meal without driving across town.

Or use the kitchen and make dinner at the suite. Pick up local seafood, prepare something simple, and enjoy it with the windows open. Sometimes the perfect vacation dinner is not complicated at all.

Fresh food. Bare feet. Ocean views. Maybe a little dessert afterward.

8:30 p.m., Make Yourself at Home

Back at Bombora, settle into the evening.

The lights are low. The beach is quieter. The Atlantic keeps moving beyond the windows.

Maybe you’ll sit on the patio with a final drink. Maybe you’ll fold a few clean beach towels from the laundry room. Maybe you’ll stretch out on the Sleeper Sofa and start planning tomorrow, or decide tomorrow can wait.

That’s what makes Bombora one of the most comfortable oceanfront suites in Flagler Beach. You get the charm of a retro beach town, the convenience of walkable restaurants and cafés, and the everyday comforts of home.

A full kitchen. Extra sleeping space. Free on-site laundry. Direct beach access. A shared ocean-side patio. And the ocean, always the ocean, right outside.
