Playa Flamingo offers a dramatic setting reminiscent of the Mediterranean, with ocean view homes clinging to two large points separated by a long, curve of white sand. Flamingo Beach property is on the upper end of the market, with beachfront or ocean view estate homes and luxurious Costa Rica condos. Flamingo beach offers great snorkeling off the north and south points, and is an excellent swimming beach with small waves most of the year. This spectacular beach is also known for its sport fishing and diving, and is the site of the new Costa Rica Flamingo Marina. As a result, sailboats and sunsets characterize many views.
