Playa Flamingo
The easy way around Flamingo
Flamingo is small, hilly and spread along one long beach. A golf cart gets you from your rental to the sand, the marina and dinner without hunting for parking.
Our partners deliver to homes, condos and hotels all over Flamingo, including up the hill. The cart is waiting when you arrive and gets picked up at the end of your stay.

Where to go
Flamingo by cart
Flamingo Beach
The main beach, with white sand and calm water most of the year. Easy to park a cart near the beach access points.
The marina
Boats, coffee and some of the best sunset spots in town. Most boat tours leave from here.
Dinner up the hill
Several of the town’s restaurants sit up the hill with ocean views. A cart handles the climb fine and saves you a sweaty walk.
Potrero and Brasilito
Both are a short drive away. Potrero for a quiet sunset, Brasilito for the village and a walk to Playa Conchal.
Good to know
Before you drive
The cart company walks you through everything at drop-off. These are the basics.
More questions? See the golf cart FAQ.
Charging
Plug it into a normal outlet overnight. Range depends on the cart, anywhere from about 30 to 75 km on a full charge, so plugging in every night keeps you covered.
Drivers
Most companies need drivers to be at least 18, and some ask younger drivers to add extra coverage. Bring your driver’s license, and we’ll confirm the rules for your cart.
Roads
Most rental carts here are street legal, so you can drive between towns. Treat it like a car: seatbelts on, no drinking and driving, and take dirt roads slowly.
After dark
Most carts have headlights, but many roads here have no streetlights. Drive slower at night and watch for people walking.
