A selection of resorts, including Margaritaville, and plenty of rental options ideal for families looking to enjoy the beach.

From fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, sunset sailing, to thrilling ATV tours, Flamingo has something for everyone.

<h2>Discover Flamingo: A Tropical Beach Paradise</h2>The biggest attraction at Playa Flamingo is the beach itself. Although there aren’t any services directly on the beach, there are various properties located along the stretch of Playa Flamingo, with restrooms and places to grab a meal. The town of Flamingo is also a short walk from the beach and provides a variety of restaurants and some small shops. In addition, vendors are available on the beach providing souvenirs, cold drinks, and snacks.&nbsp;<h3>Best Time to Travel to Flamingo</h3>Depending on the activities, the best time to visit Flamingo Beach is during the dry season (from December to April) or October to February for Leatherback turtles' nesting season and year-round for excellent deep-sea sport fishing.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645736377/360_splendor_del_pacifico_sunset_infinite_pool_view_flamingo_c21a77386a.jpg" alt="360-splendor-del-pacifico-sunset-infinite-pool-view-flamingo.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645736377/thumbnail_360_splendor_del_pacifico_sunset_infinite_pool_view_flamingo_c21a77386a.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645736378/small_360_splendor_del_pacifico_sunset_infinite_pool_view_flamingo_c21a77386a.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645736378/medium_360_splendor_del_pacifico_sunset_infinite_pool_view_flamingo_c21a77386a.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645736378/large_360_splendor_del_pacifico_sunset_infinite_pool_view_flamingo_c21a77386a.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h3>The Weather in Flamingo</h3>Average Temperature: 75°- 96°FThe ideal months to experience the best weather in Playa Flamingo are January through April and November and December, generally considered the dry or “peak” season.&nbsp;However, from May through November, you will find a small amount of precipitation which turns the landscape into a much greener area than what you will see if you visit during the “summer” or dry season.&nbsp;<h3>Is Playa Flamingo Safe?</h3>Playa Flamingo is an excellent and quiet area to visit where you are sure to find families enjoying the days together and, in general, a relatively safe place.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1647388843/beach_hopping_and_snorkeling_flamingo_white_sand_beach_guanacaste_0f903c501a.jpg" alt="beach-hopping-and-snorkeling-flamingo-white-sand-beach-guanacaste.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1647388844/thumbnail_beach_hopping_and_snorkeling_flamingo_white_sand_beach_guanacaste_0f903c501a.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1647388846/small_beach_hopping_and_snorkeling_flamingo_white_sand_beach_guanacaste_0f903c501a.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1647388845/medium_beach_hopping_and_snorkeling_flamingo_white_sand_beach_guanacaste_0f903c501a.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1647388845/large_beach_hopping_and_snorkeling_flamingo_white_sand_beach_guanacaste_0f903c501a.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"><h2>Top Restaurants In Flamingo</h2>Flamingo is all about pleasure and luxury with beautiful villas and luxurious resorts. While it has a restricted choice of bars and restaurants, those seeking a little more nightlife have Tamarindo and Playa Brasilito just a few minutes away.&nbsp;Coco Loco Set right ON the beach, feet in sand kind of experience. This restaurant is a clear favorite. Both tourists and locals enjoy this relaxed, casual bar with great (and consistent!) service.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>How To Get There</h2>We recommended flying into Liberia Airport (LIR) from San Jose Airport (SJO) for the most manageable commute (less than 1 hour). The Tamarindo Airport is also approximately 40 minutes from Playa Flamingo if you are flying domestic.

Best Diving Spots

As soon as we landed we were in great hands! Very pleased with our excursions and accommodations. Our driver “Marlon Brando” was awesome. Planning and checking in on us throughout our vacation was appreciated. Thanks, Rachel, our trip was SO enjoyable!

Cindy - Rachel

This was the favorite place for the rest of my family. They all enjoyed the beach and boogie boarding here. The beach location was wonderful! It was very family oriented and much quieter and isolated. While here we did a snorkel boating trip... We even saw a howler monkey as we were leaving. The planned excursions and included transportation throughout our trip in Costa Rica made our trip so much easier to relax as we didn’t have to think about the planning for that.

Misty B - Flamingo Beach

We spent the second half of the trip in Playa Flamingo with an all-inclusive package and it was fantastic. Sunsets on the beach were amazing and we really enjoyed the relaxation! I will never visit Costa Rica without Costa Rican Vacations!
