Potrero
The easy way around Potrero
Potrero is the quiet bay just north of Flamingo. It’s more spread out than it looks, and a golf cart makes the whole area easy.
Our partners deliver to homes and condos around Potrero and Surfside, and collect the cart at the end of your stay. From here, Flamingo is only a few minutes away, and some snorkel and dive boats leave right from Potrero.

Where to go
Potrero by cart
Sunset on the bay
Potrero faces west toward the Catalina Islands, so sunsets here are hard to beat. Park the cart by the beach and stay a while.
The town square
Small sodas, bakeries and a few bars around the soccer field. Easy to reach and easy to park.
Playa Penca and nearby beaches
Quieter beaches north of town, reached by dirt road. Go slowly and avoid the deeper puddles in rainy season.
Into Flamingo
The marina, more restaurants and the main beach are a short ride south.
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.
