Location
Ginn Hammock Beach Resort
200 Ocean Crest Drive
Palm Coast, FL 32137
Resort: 386.246.5500

Palm Coast is in northeast Florida, on the Atlantic Coast, just south of St. Augustine. Daytona Airport is 30 minutes south of the resort. Jacksonville Airport is 1 hour, 15 minutes north of the resort.
You will want to rent a car so you can explore the coast, including Flaglers Beach, where you can watch the surfers catch a wave while you dine at one of the oceanfront restaurants. The Flagler Beach Pier juts into the Atlantic where fishermen cast their lines. The break by the pier makes for some of the best surfing in the area.
Palm Coast and Flagler county are among the fastest growing locations in the country. A population of 68,013, it is a quiet bedroom community for St. Augustine and Daytona Beach workers. Many locals work in Orlando and Jacksonville and commute from Palm Coast.
St. Augustine, the nation's oldest city, is 20 minutes north. It is a charming city with cobblestone streets, quaint cafes, bars, unique shops and bed-and-breakfast inns. In a historic district, landmarks to see while you are there include:
Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
Castillo de San Marcos actually took 23 years to build (from 1672 to 1695). Fabricated of coquina, a virtually indestructible limestone comprised of broken sea shells and coral, the walls of the fortress remained impenetrable through 300 years of enemy shelling and pounding by violent storms.
Fort Matanzas
Built 1740-1742, represents a well-preserved masonry watchtower fort built by the Spanish. By providing a perch to observe enemy vessels approaching from the south, the fort played a strategic role in warning St. Augustine of potential enemy advancements from the south via the Matanzas River.
