Flagler Beach has so many funky little stores. This is one reason why it was in the running for one of America's Coolest Towns. What could be better than reading comics on the beach?

Don't bother with any other Italian restaurants in town. Rocky is the man and has a cozy place either inside or get two slices with a beer for $6 and eat at the beach across the road. So good!
