🍰 Sweet Celebrations: Local Favorites for National Dessert Day

October 14th marks National Dessert Day, and here at the Beach, we know how to celebrate in style—with a spoon, a smile, and a little local flair. Whether you’re craving something creamy, boozy, or beautifully baked, our coastal community offers a delicious lineup of treats that turn any day into a celebration.

Here are three standout dessert experiences that guests (and locals!) won’t want to miss:

🍦 Sally’s Ice Cream: A Flagler Beach Staple

Located just steps from the sand, Sally’s Ice Cream is more than a sweet stop—it’s a summer tradition. Their soft-serve swirl cones are iconic, perfect for cooling off after a beach walk or snapping a photo in front of their cheerful sign. Whether you’re a vanilla purist or a twist enthusiast, Sally’s delivers nostalgia in every bite with seemingly endless flavor options.

Guest Tip: Grab your cone and stroll the pier for the ultimate Flagler moment.

🍹 Funky Pelican’s Florida Sunshine State Cake

Dessert meets Florida’s oranges in this indulgent creation from Funky Pelican. The Florida Sunshine State Cake is a tropical twist on classic comfort—think citrusy layers, creamy textures, and a garnish that screams “vacation mode.” It’s the kind of treat that pairs perfectly with ocean views and beach vibes of this oceanfront restaurant.

🍸 Crave’s Coastal Kitchen: Dessert-Inspired Martinis

For those who like their sweets shaken, not stirred, Crave’s Coastal Kitchen offers many unique dessert martinis that are as playful as they are delicious. From the chocolate richness of the Snickertini to the tangy zing of the Key Lime Martini, and the seasonal charm of the Pumpkin Pie Martini, these sips are perfect for toasting National Dessert Day in style.

Guest Tip: If you don’t want something too sweet, ask for the Snickertini with a shot of Espresso.
