Living in Palm Coast, Florida
90+ miles of saltwater canals, championship golf at Grand Haven and Hammock Dunes, and Flagler County value between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.
Where is Palm Coast?
Palm Coast sits in Flagler County along Florida's northeast coast, roughly 25 minutes south of St. Augustine and 35 minutes north of Daytona Beach via I-95. Built around one of the largest man-made waterway systems in the country — more than 90 miles of saltwater canals — it offers a rare mix of boating access, golf course living, and quiet, master-planned neighborhoods.
The Palm Coast Lifestyle
Palm Coast living centers on the water and the fairway. Many neighborhoods are built along the city's extensive canal network, giving homeowners private docks and boat access toward the Intracoastal Waterway, while communities like Grand Haven and Hammock Dunes are anchored by championship golf.
Beyond the water and greens, residents enjoy European Village's shops and restaurants, nearby state parks like Washington Oaks Gardens, and an easy drive to both St. Augustine's historic district and Daytona's beaches — at a lower cost of entry than St. Johns County.
