Drop anchor in Palm Coast and the Flagler Beaches! There are plenty of waterways to explore, starting with the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, a large stretch of brackish water just west of the Atlantic Ocean that creates the barrier islands. This canal runs along the Atlantic seaboard and serves as a major waterway for boaters to travel the coast. From there boaters can meander through creeks and marshlands for a day of fishing and relaxation or they can head out to the Atlantic Ocean for a spectacular day at sea. Those looking for a fresh water experience can venture out through Haw Creek to Dead Lake or Crescent Lake to view osprey, great blue herons, turtles and even alligators as they bask in the sun.
Need a place to dock? The brand new municipal Marineland Marina offers slips to dock your boat for a day up to one month. Resort goers will enjoy the Marina at Hammock Beach Resort where slip rental offers up other spectacular amenities. Need something more permanent? The Palm Coast Marina offers slips for those looking to stick around for a while. If you bring in your boat by car or truck, take advantage of boat slops located throughout the county for easy access to the water. No boat, no problem. There are charter fishermen who can take you out! And if motors aren’t your fancy, kayak rentals and guided tours are offered year round.
They don’t call Florida the "Fishing Capital of the World" for nothing! The Sunshine State boasts superb weather year round with 2,276 miles of tidal shoreline and more than 11,000 miles of rivers, streams and waterways. Here you can be sure you’re always within reach of a place to drop your line. A diversity of sport fishes await you with plenty of coastline for surf fishing and a variety of rivers, lakes and estuaries available for brackish and fresh water fishing.
Those fishing off the Flagler Beach Municipal Pier don’t need to worry about purchasing a fishing license as their admission to fish off the pier includes their fishing license for the day while fishing from the pier. There’s also no shortage of boat and kayak launches for those wanting to spend the day on the water. No boat? No problem. Call one of our spectacular charter captains for a day you’ll never forget.
In order to fish in the State of Florida you have to purchase a permit to fish in fresh and/or saltwater. You can buy them at the Tax Collectors office, online or at most bait shops; however, additional charges may apply if the permits are purchased outside of the Tax Collectors office.

Princess Place Preserve is the crown jewel of Flagler County's preserves. This beautiful 1500 acre preserve is located at the confluence of
Pellicer Creek, Moody Creek, and the Matanzas River. This beautiful 1,500-acre preserve situated in the northern part of Flagler County
was purchased by Henry Cutting in 1886 and passed on to his widow Angela Mills Cutting Worden, who eventually married Boris
Scherbatoff, an exiled Russian prince. Angela assumed the title of princess and it was then that the once named "Cherokee
Grove" came to be known as "Princess Place. The original lodge built by Henry Cutting still stands as Flagler County's oldest intact
structure. Also on-site is Florida's very first in-ground swimming pool.

Although the formal gardens are the centerpiece of this park, Washington Oaks is also famous for the unique shoreline of coquina rock
formations that line its Atlantic beach. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Matanzas River, this property was once owned by a
distant relative of President George Washington. The gardens were established by Louise and Owen Young who purchased the land in 1936 and
built a winter retirement home. They named it Washington Oaks and, in 1965, donated most of the property to the State. The gardens make
remarkable use of native and exotic species, from azaleas and camellias to the exquisite bird of paradise, sheltered within a picturesque
oak hammock. Visitors can picnic and fish from either the beach or the seawall along the Matanzas River. A number of short trails provide
opportunities for hiking and bicycling. Visitors can learn about the park's natural and cultural resources in the visitor center. Located
two miles south of Marineland on State Road A1A.
