Marina Flamingo Guide
The waterfront heart of Playa Flamingo — restaurants, shops, sport fishing charters, and the launch point for sailing, snorkeling, and sunset cruises.
About the Marina
The waterfront hub of Costa Rica’s Gold Coast
Marina Flamingo sits on the calm north end of Playa Flamingo bay and is the only full-service marina on Costa Rica’s Pacific Gold Coast. It’s where sport fishing charters, catamaran day sails, snorkel tours, private yacht charters, and sunset cruises all depart from — and it’s home to some of the area’s best restaurants, boutique shops, and wellness and professional services.
Steps from the beach and a short drive from Potrero, Brasilito, and the rest of the Gold Coast beaches, the marina is equally useful as a launch point for a day on the water or as a destination in itself — a waterfront stroll, dinner with boat views, or a sunset cocktail on the bay.
