Welcome to Gamble Rogers State Recreation
Area
Located
near Flagler Beach and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Inter-
coastal Waterway, this 144-acre park offers coastal camping, picnicking,
swimming, fishing, and nature study. The daily low tide is an ideal
time to observe the shore birds feeding in tidal ponds, and summer
months bring sea turtles to lay their eggs in the sand.
A seemingly endless breeze
wafts through the beachfront campground at Gamble Rogers State Recreation
Area. The site contains 34 campsites of which 24 accommodate RV's
up to 44 feet long. Each site has a picnic table, grill and fire
ring. The sun-washed campsites, composed of compressed coquina rock,
overlook the beach and provide almost immediate access to swimming
and fishing.
For
respite from the sun at the beach, a 20-minute nature trail near
the park's entrance leads through a coastal scrub habitat of low-lying
magnolia, oak, cedar, and sabal palms on the west side of the highway.
The park also contains a playground and boat launch.
