Nestled between St. Augustine, the Nation's oldest city, and the World Center of Racing in Daytona Beach, Palm Coast is a Florida paradise – situated on 70 miles of saltwater and freshwater canals and the Intracoastal Waterway and just minutes from pristine Atlantic Ocean beaches. Vibrant lifestyle and the natural environment go hand-in-hand here. The City offers a dozen beautiful parks, 100 miles of connecting trails and paths for walking/bicycling, abundant fishing and boating, a year-round Running Series, and world-class tennis and golf. Lined with historic oaks, towering pines and indigenous vegetation, Palm Coast’s parks and trails showcase the splendid elegance of the native Florida landscape. The City’s respect for the environment continues to be recognized as the City is designated a Tree City USA and a Florida Green City-Gold Standard by the Florida Green Building Coalition. Palm Coast is a well-designed community in Northeast Florida offering a variety of attractions, activities and amenities that give visitors and newcomers an "authentic Florida" experience. Palm Coast is the closest I-95 exit to Florida’s beaches, and the area’s gorgeous wide beaches are not overly crowded or developed.
