There’s a certain kind of Flagler Beach morning that makes you slow down…

The Atlantic is turning silver-blue. Cinnamon-colored sand stretches along the shore. A salty breeze slips through the open window, and somewhere nearby, coffee is brewing.

At Bombora Oceanfront Suites, the best hours of the day begin just steps from your door. Wake up in one of four comfortable oceanfront suites, walk onto the shared ocean-side patio with your first mug of Coffee, or head out toward the cafés near Flagler Pier.

Then, as the afternoon fades into a peach-and-gold evening, stroll back toward town for a cold drink, live music, or a relaxed dinner by the water.

Planning a Florida beach getaway? Here’s how to make the most of Flagler Beach from Sunrise to Sunset.

Start with Sunrise Coffee by the Atlantic

The early morning is one of the best times to enjoy Flagler Beach. The beach is peaceful, the air feels fresh, and the light over the Atlantic is pure postcard magic.

At Bombora, you can make Coffee in your suite’s full kitchen and enjoy it on the shared ocean-side patio. No packing everyone into the car. No searching for parking. Just a cozy chair, a warm mug, and the sound of waves beyond the dune walk-over.

Prefer to walk out for breakfast? You’re just steps from local cafés and casual breakfast spots along Ocean Shore Boulevard.

  • Sip & Surf Coffee Co. is a popular stop for espresso drinks, teas, smoothies, and creative seasonal flavors.

  • Yes Coffee Co. is a local favorite for specialty Coffee and light bites.

  • Kool Beenz Coffee & Smoothies is a handy choice when some travelers want hot Coffee and others want something cool and fruity.

  • Java Joint Beachside Grill is worth considering when you want breakfast with an ocean view.

Want to know the local-insider trick? Start with Coffee at Bombora, take a slow beach walk, and then stop for a second drink once town begins to wake up. It’s a simple ritual, but it feels wonderfully vacation-like.

Take a Slow Walk Toward Flagler Pier

Once everyone is caffeinated, follow the oceanfront road toward Flagler Pier.

Bombora is located at 901 N. Ocean Shore Boulevard, putting you within walking distance of the pier, cafés, restaurants, bars, and classic beach-town attractions. You can leave the car parked and spend the morning exploring on foot. Exactly as a relaxed beach day should be.

Along the way, look for:

  • Pelicans gliding over the water.

  • Surfers checking the morning waves.

  • Colorful storefronts and retro beach-town details.

  • The changing light on the ocean.

  • A cinnamon-sandy shoreline that practically begs for a barefoot walk.

Flagler Pier is a natural landmark and gathering place, but conditions and access can change with renovation work, weather, or local events. Check current information before you go.

And if the pier isn’t your main destination? No problem. The walk itself is part of the experience.

A Midmorning Made for the Beach

After Sunrise and Coffee, it’s time for the main event: Surf, Sun, and plenty of time near the water.

Bombora’s dune walk-over is directly in front of the property, so getting to the beach is easy. No long block-by-block trek with towels, chairs, toys, and coolers. Just steps from your suite… just steps from the sand.

When everyone needs a break, head back to your oceanfront suite for lunch, a nap, or a little air-conditioning. The suites range from one-bedroom spaces to a three-bedroom penthouse, each with a full kitchen and sleeper sofa. Free on-site laundry is available, too. A small convenience that makes a big difference after a few salty beach days.

Light-filled oceanview living room at Bombora Oceanfront Suites

Did I mention the ocean views? The living spaces are designed for easy, comfortable downtime, whether you’re watching the waves, sharing a casual meal, or letting the kids unwind after the beach.

That’s the difference between a traditional hotel room and an oceanfront vacation rental: more room to spread out, more flexibility, and the comforts of home right where you want them.

Lunch Near the Water

By lunchtime, Flagler Beach is ready for something casual and satisfying.

This is not the place for overcomplicated beach-day logistics. Choose tacos, seafood, sandwiches, or a cold drink, then get back to the shore.

A few local options to explore through Visit Flagler’s dining listings include:

  • Golden Lion Café for casual beachside fare, fish tacos, drinks, and ocean breezes.

  • Tortugas Florida Kitchen & Bar for a broad menu that works well when everyone in your group wants something different.

  • Flagler Fish Company for fresh seafood, chowder, fish tacos, and daily specials.

  • Taco Shop for an easy, unfussy lunch or takeout back at the suite.

Why choose a vacation rental in Flagler Beach? Because you can dine out when you feel like it, and bring something back to your full kitchen when you don’t.

No dress code. No rush. No problem.

The Golden-Hour Pause

As afternoon slips toward evening, return to Bombora for the part of the day locals love most: the pause before dinner.

Settle into the shared ocean-side patio. Read a few pages. Let the kids play a board game. Open a cold drink. Watch the beach shift from bright afternoon blue to soft gold.

The patio is perfect for morning Coffee, but it’s just as inviting for evening cocktails. And because Bombora is right by the beach, you don’t have to choose between comfort and scenery.

Just steps from the dune walk-over.

Just steps from the Atlantic.

Just steps from the restaurants and bars along A1A.

Wide Atlantic Ocean view from Flagler Beach

One practical note: Flagler Beach faces east, so the Sun rises over the Atlantic. Sunset itself happens inland, but the late-day glow across the beach, dunes, palms, and buildings can still be beautiful, especially with a salty breeze and a drink in hand.

Sunset Drinks Around Flagler Pier

Ready to head out again? The town’s oceanfront bars and restaurants are close enough for an easy evening stroll.

  • Funky Pelican sits near the Flagler Beach Pier and is a natural choice for ocean views, casual food, and people-watching.

  • Finn’s Beachside Pub offers a laid-back atmosphere, cold beer, casual bites, and often live music.

  • Flagler Beachfront Winery is a slower-paced option for wine by the beach.

  • Golden Lion Café is a classic pick for drinks, dinner, and a lively beach-bar feel.

  • Break Awayz is worth considering when your group wants a larger beer selection and music.

  • Oceanside Beach Bar & Grill offers another relaxed coastal option farther along A1A.

Menus, hours, and entertainment schedules can change seasonally, so check the latest details before setting out. But the overall plan is wonderfully simple: walk toward town, follow the music, and see where the evening takes you.

Or Stay In for One Last Cocktail

Here’s another local-insider move: go out for dinner, then come back to Bombora for one last drink on the patio.

Pick up a bottle of wine or cocktail ingredients while you’re in town. Walk back to your suite. Settle into a comfortable chair and listen to the surf beyond the dune walk-over.

No driving.

No waiting for another table.

No squeezing one more stop into the schedule.

Just the Atlantic, a warm evening breeze, and a little quiet after a full day of Surf and Sun.
