This mile-long, crescent shaped beach, also known as Playa Blanca (White Beach), is as beautiful as any of the famed beaches in Costa Rica. Among the first of Costa Rica's beaches to receive international attention, Flamingo Beach has evolved into one of the country's most lavish areas. It is home to the nation's largest marina, and it is a favorite of deep-sea fishermen.

Playa Flamingo is one of the smaller beaches and the town is also a bit small, which we liked. We liked the area in general. It's really just for laying on the beach and/or pool. There's a few "thrill" activities if you wish but little in the way of nature viewing. Still, it's a beautiful spot to unwind. We ate at the "Smokin' Pig" at Playa Potrero, which was excellent.
The beach and resort were beautiful, clean, safe and not crowded at all
I stayed at Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa. Everything was great!
Our tour guide went above and beyond his typical duties. First I lost my dive mask and then it turned out that I had left my shoes at the last beach. Alejandro found both and we enjoyed ourselves as he was doing it.
Costa Rica is beautiful, especially Flamingo Beach. Locals were extremely friendly and helpful.
Safe, spacious, hospitable and great weather!
No town at all. Without a car we were pretty much stuck at the hotel, but we filled our days up with plenty of activities from the hotel (ATVs, snorkeling, swimming, beach). The beach is beautiful, soft white sand.
Because we had the all-inclusive plan, we didn't wander away from the resort at all. Still had a wonderful time exploring the beach and relaxing!
Felt safe, not a lot of things to do at night in Playa Flamingo, it seems it is a more relaxing place which is nice. Locals were very nice. Good experience for relaxation.
We loved Playa Flamingo and felt very safe. We walked around safely. The locals in the area are very friendly. We took a taxi into Brasilito which we loved as well. There was a delicious place to eat lobster right on the beach and the owner was so friendly and cheerful. If I could I would live there!!
This was great for relaxing, and doing nothing for the last several days. Loved the non crowded beach!
Beautiful beach, clear warm water... it was gorgeous! It was also close to other beaches further south that were an easy taxi ride away. We went to Tamarindo to shop and for a deep sea fishing excursion. In between the two locations were another 3 or 4 beautiful beaches to see.
Highly recommend the Happy Snapper restaurant. Also recommend snorkeling tour that I booked from the hotel (Flamingo Beach Resort).
All restaurants were great - we went to Marie's, Willie's, Monkey Bar, Angelina's, Mar y sol - all were great value. Playa Flamingo was fabulous.
Great Beach!!
