There’s a certain kind of vacation magic that starts when you park the car, drop your bags, and realize you may not need the keys again until checkout.
At Bombora Oceanfront Suites, the Atlantic is right outside, and the best of Flagler Beach is close enough to explore on foot. Coffee? A breezy stroll. Fish tacos? Just steps from the sand. Sunset Cocktails? Enjoy them at a local bar, or pour your own on Bombora’s shared ocean-side patio while the sky turns cinnamon, peach, and pink.
That’s the beauty of staying in one of Flagler Beach’s oceanfront suites. You’re not blocks away from the beach or tucked behind a busy parking lot. You’re directly oceanfront, with a dune walk-over right in front of the property, unobstructed 180-degree views, and easy access to Flagler Pier, restaurants, bars, and cafés.
So, where should you eat first?
Start with Coffee and a Salty Morning Walk
The best Flagler Beach mornings are wonderfully simple: wake up to the sound of Surf, watch the first light over the Atlantic, and decide whether you’re heading out for Coffee, or enjoying it at home.
Bombora’s suites include full kitchens, so you can brew a quiet cup while the rest of your group sleeps in. Then head down to the shared ocean-side patio, settle into an Adirondack chair, and watch the waves roll in.
Want to make a morning of it? Put these local coffee stops on your list:
Sun Bros Café
Located on Moody Boulevard, Sun Bros Café is one of the closest dedicated coffee stops near the Flagler Beach Pier. It’s a handy choice for espresso drinks, light bites, and a little local energy before a beach walk.
Grab your Coffee, wander toward the Pier, and let the ocean breeze do the rest. No complicated itinerary required.
Yes Coffee
If you feel like exploring a few blocks inland, Yes Coffee offers an independent café experience away from the main oceanfront road. It’s a nice change of scenery when you want your morning walk to include more of Flagler Beach’s classic town atmosphere.
Did I mention that the walk back can end with bare feet in the sand? That’s the kind of commute we can get behind.
Tacos, Pier Views, and Easygoing Lunches
When lunchtime rolls around, the question is rarely “Where can we eat?” It’s more like “Which ocean view sounds best today?”
Funky Pelican
For the closest possible combination of Tacos, ocean views, and salty air, head to Funky Pelican on the Flagler Beach Pier.
Dining over the water gives this local favorite an unmistakable beach-town feeling. The menu includes seafood, burgers, cocktails, and popular choices such as shrimp and fish tacos. It’s casual, lively, and easy to pair with a stroll along the Pier.
Go for lunch after a morning swim, or arrive early for Breakfast and a front-row view of the waves. Either way, the walk is part of the experience.
Golden Lion Café
A little farther north along Oceanshore Boulevard, Golden Lion Café is a classic Flagler Beach stop for seafood, fish and chips, tropical drinks, and a lively beachfront atmosphere.
This is the kind of place where nobody minds sandy toes, the drinks arrive cold, and the deck invites you to stay longer than planned. If you’re up for a longer stroll, it’s a delicious way to explore more of town.
Flagler Fish Company
Craving fresh Seafood instead of a formal dining experience? Flagler Fish Company is a local favorite known for its market-and-restaurant concept.
Choose from the day’s catch and have it prepared grilled, blackened, or fried. Fish tacos and daily specials make it an easy choice for a casual meal, while the fresh market gives you another option: pick something up and cook it later in your Bombora suite.
That full kitchen comes in handy, doesn’t it?

Sunset Cocktails: Choose Your View
Flagler Beach evenings are made for lingering. The light softens, the breeze turns cooler, and the Atlantic starts catching the last streaks of Sun.
You have two excellent options.
Go Out for a Beachfront Drink
Funky Pelican is an easy choice when you want Cocktails with a Pier-side view. Finns Beachside Pub offers classic beach-bar energy, an oceanfront setting, and a relaxed atmosphere that often includes music and sports.
For a livelier evening, Golden Lion Café brings tropical drinks, a larger beachfront deck, and that nostalgic, no-shoes-needed feeling Flagler Beach does so well.
Tortugas Florida Kitchen & Bar is another popular choice for colorful coastal flavors, tropical inspiration, and a fun dinner-and-drinks combination. If you’re looking for a slightly more elevated evening, Crave’s Coastal Kitchen & Cocktails offers seafood, steaks, and craft drinks in a polished but welcoming setting.
And for a cozy date night? Next Door Beach Bistro brings French-influenced coastal dining, wine, and a more intimate atmosphere.
Restaurant hours, menus, and entertainment can change seasonally, so it’s always wise to check before heading out.
Stay In for a Patio Nightcap
Of course, the easiest sunset bar in town may be right outside your suite.
Pick up a bottle of wine, mixers, or ingredients for a simple Cocktail. Your suite’s full kitchen makes it easy to keep things casual. Then step onto Bombora’s shared ocean-side patio and watch the horizon do its thing.
No reservation. No driving. No designated-driver debate. Just a cozy chair, a salty breeze, and the sound of the Surf rolling in beyond the dune walk-over.
The Perfect Walkable Foodie Day
Want an easy plan? Here’s a local-style outline:
- Morning: Make Coffee in your suite and enjoy it on the patio.
- Late morning: Walk toward Flagler Pier and stop at Sun Bros Café or Funky Pelican.
- Lunch: Order fish tacos, fresh Seafood, or a casual basket by the water.
- Afternoon: Return to the suite for a nap, a swim, or time on the sand via the dune walk-over.
- Golden hour: Pour a drink on the patio and watch the Atlantic turn postcard-worthy.
- Dinner: Choose from a beachfront pub, seafood favorite, Italian-inspired FARO, or a more refined local restaurant.
- After dinner: Walk back to your oceanfront suite, just steps from the waves, just steps from a cozy bed.
