Sad news for Flagler Beach Pier!






This last hurricane season the Flagler pier lost several pylons that support the pier. But they left the pier open because it is used so much by fishermen and tourist. But we had high winds this last few weeks and more pylons were lost so Flagler was forced to shut the pier down.
This pier has been the landmark for Flagler for decades. They are saying they may not re-open it because of the cost. Flagler's budget will not withstand such an expense. I hope and pray get try for grants and funding to keep this landmark alive. Flagler would never be the same without the pier and they would lose lots of money from the fishermen and the tourist. people would go to another beach and Florida has many beaches. For us Flagler is our favorite. So we would be so sad.
