  Location of Flagler Beach Airport | |
Flagler Beach Airport is a closed airport. It was located just to the west of Flagler Beach, Florida, United States.
The airport was built in the early 1930s on the narrow barrier island almost directly on the Atlantic coast. It consisted of two marl runways, 3,200' northwest/southeast and 3,000' north/south. There may have been a small hangar and a building located directly next to the beach with a parking ramp.

In 1943, the Navy took over the anti-submarine mission, and the Civil Air Patrol operated observation aircraft from the field.
After the war ended, the airport was closed in 1945 or 1946. It remains abandoned to this day, the land being owned by the Flagship Harbor Preserve. The outlines of the runways are clearly delineated in aerial imagery.

Naval Air Station Los Alamitos Naval Outlying Landing Fields were a set airfield near Naval Air Station Los Alamitos to support the training of US Navy pilots during World War 2. The support airfields are called Naval Outlying Landing Field (NOLF). For the war, many new trained pilots were needed. The Naval Outlying Landing Fields provided a place for pilots to practice landing and take off without other air traffic. The remotes sites offered flight training without distractions. Most of the new pilots departed to the Pacific War after training. The Outlying Landing Fields had little or no support facilities. Naval Air Station Los Alamitos opened in 1942 and was transferred to the US Army in 1977 as Los Alamitos Army Airfield. Most of the Outlying fields closed in 1945, having completed the role of training new pilots. To open the needed Outlying Landing Fields quickly, the Navy took over local crop dusting and barnstorming airfields. Naval Air Station Los Alamitos was also called Los Alamitos Naval Reserve Air Base. During the war Marine Corps Air Station El Toro also used the outlying Landing Field. The Timm N2T Tutor was the most common plane used for training on the outlying landing fields.
