Playa Flamingo is one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Located on the country’s Gold Coast, Playa Flamingo lies in Punta Salinas, northwest of Bahia Brasilito, 75 km southwest of Liberia. Between the beaches of Playa Potrero and Playa Brasilito, Playa Flamingo or Flamingo Beach is the sole full-service marina between Acapulco and Panama on the Pacific coast of Central America.
Offering stunning white sand, unspoiled beaches and pristine clear blue waters, Playa Flamingo is the ideal vacation getaway, offering visitors some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. This beach is an extremely popular tourist destination due to marlin, tuna, swordfish and snapper found off the coast all year around. This beach also plays host to a fantastic international sailfish tournament sponsored by the Costa Rican Amateur Fishermen’s Club.
In addition to deep sea fishing, Playa Flamingo also offers a wealth of water sports along with close proximity to the amazing Santa Rosa National Park and the Palo Verde natural reserve. In close proximity, for the golfing enthusiast there is also an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Here all year round scuba diving is available, offering tourists to experience the excitement of swimming with white-fin sharks and an array of other stunning tropical fish and marine life. You may also set off on sailing and diving expeditions and tours to the close by island of Plata.
The Playa Flamingo is home to some of the most beautiful hotels, condos and private residences on the coast, and it is a fabulous holiday spot if you prefer taking advantage of the world class fishing out here, or if you prefer a simple sunset cruise. The best time to visit is from December to April, when the beaches are all in sunshine and the average annual temperature hovers around 28°C (82°F).
