The Flagler County Chamber of Commerce has four area council that represent the "eyes and ears" of their respective business communities: Bunnell, Flagler Beach, the Hammock and Palm Coast. The Area Councils are a network of local businesses that support one another, provide opportunities to vet and tackle local issues and encourage economic prosperity in their city. These councils provide more localized networking opportunities and a channel to bring to focus the unique business needs of their community. Area council chairmen have seats on the Chamber's board of directors and a direct line to the Business Issues Committees to surface and address challenges and opportunities.

THE HAMMOCKThe Hammock is a delightful meandering portion of A1A between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. It stems from its northern gateway in the small town of Marineland, along 10 scenic miles of oak and palm lined roadways through Beverly Beach, past the Matanzas River Inlet, Washington Oaks State Garden and the River to Sea Preserve to the northern edge of Flagler Beach.
The Hammock not only contains scenic, recreational and historic gems, but it is home to a growing business community that makes up the Chamber's Hammock Area Council.
