Marina Cove 602, Flamingo attractions
Marina Cove is located just on the edge of downtown Flamingo, within easy walking distance from the restaurants, bars and shops of this delightful little town. One of Flamingo’s great attractions is the stunning visual impression that arises from its unusual topography. A hilly green peninsula known as the North Ridge juts dramatically into the Pacific Ocean, covered in high-end condos and vacation rentals. Marina Cove is located at the base of this ridge, which creates a dividing line between Flamingo’s two beaches, Playa Potrero and Playa Flamingo. A world-class marina is currently under construction a short distance from Marina Cove, replacing a marina that closed down in 2003. The sheltered, scenic Potrero Bay is a natural stopping point for yachts and fishing boats between marinas in Papagayo and Herradura. For anyone who may be interested in acquiring investment property, this new marina presents an unusual opportunity because it’s expected to lift property values all over town.
Flamingo was developed mostly by foreigners for tourism. It lacks the common Costa Rican touches of a downtown plaza with a church and soccer field, but it’s a modern, immaculate and easily walkable town. Every kind of adventure tour imaginable can be booked here or near here, including fishing, diving, sunset cruises, turtle tours, ziplining, whitewater rafting and much more.
Marina Cove 602 in Flamingo is a great base from which to explore this region, and you’ll like the price too.

The Neighborhood:
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 stores, banks and other conveniences.
A brand-new, state-of-the-art marina opened to the public in 2022, with slips for yachts and fishing boats, condos for rent and all kinds of shops and restaurants. Other major developments here include the 360 Splendor del Pacifico luxury condominiums on top of the North Ridge, the Margaritaville Beach Resort, and the upscale Mar Vista housing development, where there’s an excellent private school called La Paz.
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, hardware stores and the Super Massai grocery store.
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 beaches, including Conchal, Flamingo, Potrero, Penca, Prieta, Pan de Azucar and Danta.
Getting Around:
Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.
We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.
Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.
