Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach

Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area is a protected coastal area spanning approximately 145 acres between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. The park features maritime forests and coastal dunes with diverse plants and wildlife.

The area was named after a folk musician who died in 1991 while attempting to rescue a drowning person. This naming honors his legacy and connection to Florida's local community.

The park is named after a local folk singer and hosts music events and educational programs about coastal ecosystems. Visitors can experience the connection between the area's artistic heritage and its natural environment.

The park offers 34 campsites with electrical and water hookups plus a boat ramp for water access. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and bring sun protection for outdoor activities.

The park sits between two bodies of water, offering a rare advantage: visitors can watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean and the sunset over the Intracoastal Waterway from nearby locations. This unusual geography makes it special for photography and nature watching.
