Do
- Wales Coast Path follows the entire Welsh coastline. Going north to south, the first stage starts at the border at the edge of Chester, and is 29 miles / 47 km via Flint to Prestatyn. These early miles are industrial and brownfield, with great vistas of mud when the tide's out on the Dee estuary.
- Football: Flint Town United ("The Silkmen") play soccer in the Cymru Premier League. That's the top tier within Wales, but mostly amateur and on a par with England's fifth tier National League. Their home ground is Cae-y-Castell (sponsored as Essity Stadium), capacity 1000, on the coast near the railway station.
- Connah's Quay Nomads also play in the Cymru Premier League. In spite of their name they do have a regular home ground at Deeside Stadium, capacity 1500, two miles southeast of Flint town centre.
