So it’s a very short walk to the water. With villas for sale at around $1 million and up, The Palms is at the higher end of the high end. Treat yourself! Playa Flamingo (Flamingo Beach) is one of Costa Rica's popular beaches with fine white sand. Its pristine clear blue waters, lagoons, vegetation and abundance of activities make this the perfect location while in Costa Rica. The Playa Flamingo area offers a wide variety of secluded beaches. Tranquil yet there are so many attractions nearby and activities you can do in the area such as snorkeling, Jetski, paddle boards, kayak, sunset cruise, beach hopping, fishing and much more. Sunsets are viewable from most areas of the beach year round, and the white sands reflect the colors of the sunsets providing endless photo opportunities. Rarely crowded, Playa Flamingo emanates both relaxation and the playfulness of the area. Flamingo Flamingo is a high-end beachfront community notable for its dazzling ocean views and the beautiful, hilly peninsula that juts out into the Pacific, separating Playa Potrero from Playa Flamingo. Flamingo is home to a wide array of stunning homes and vacation rentals, as well as humbler lodging options, and it has restaurants, grocery stories, banks and other conveniences. Construction began in December 2019 on a state-of-the-art marina that is expected to lead to an economic boom in this already prosperous town. Other recent developments here include the opening of the 360 Splendor del Pacifico luxury condominiums on the very top of the North Ridge, plus the rebranding of the all-inclusive Flamingo Beach Resort as a Margaritaville, inspired by the lyrics and laid-back lifestyle of Jimmy Buffett. Good restaurants in town include the Coco Loco, a beachfront eatery known for its coconut drinks and standout cuisine; Marie’s, a reliable standard with a long and enticing menu; Angelina’s, featuring fine Italian dining in an elegant environment; and several options at the Margaritaville, including the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill. Flamingo was largely developed by foreigners, and it lacks the traditional Costa Rican downtown with a soccer field plaza, church and school. The heart of town is an upscale commercial plaza with stone steps, fountains, restaurants and shops. Farther away on the road to Brasilito, you’ll find smaller restaurants, hotels, banks, a Comaco hardware store, the Jungle Gym fitness center, and the upscale grocery store Super Massai. Flamingo is more or less the centerpiece of a beautiful coastline stretching from the Reserva Conchal resort in the south to the Las Catalinas resort in the north, with the more traditional Costa Rican towns of Brasilito and Potrero in between. Flamingo is within easy striking distance of several dazzling beaches, including Conchal, Flamingo, Potrero, Penca, Prieta, Sugar and Danta.
