About Renting a Car at Playa Flamingo.jpg Center
Playa Flamingo is one of Guanacaste's most exclusive beach destinations, located approximately 80 km southwest of Liberia. The white sand beach and the well-known marine harbor make Flamingo popular among sailors and diving enthusiasts. Four rental agencies are located in the center for flexible exploration of the region.
From Flamingo it's only 8 km north to Playa Potrero and 15 km south to Tamarindo, the region's liveliest surf town. Conchal Beach with its characteristic shell-sand is located 5 km to the south. Liberia airport (LIR) is reached in approximately 80 km, about 1.5 hours' drive.
The road from Liberia via Belén and Huacas is paved all the way - choose this route over the coastal road which is partly gravel. Parking at the beach is free but limited during high season. Explore Reserva Biológica Isla Plata by boat from Flamingo's marina.
