Flamingo, Costa Rica, renowned for its pristine white-sand beach and clear waters, is highly accessible, typically a 1-hour drive from Liberia International Airport (LIR) via rental car or shuttle services. Both solo visits for beach relaxation and independent water activities like swimming or paddleboarding are feasible and safe, while guided tours are recommended for deep-sea fishing, diving excursions, or national park explorations. Seasonal restrictions include the dry season (December-April), which offers ideal weather but higher costs and crowds, versus the green season (May-November), which is less crowded with occasional afternoon showers. Approximate costs can range from $100-300+ per night for mid-range accommodation, $15-30 per meal, and activities varying from $20 for equipment rentals to $500+ for private fishing charters. A typical visit duration ranges from 2-3 days for a relaxing beach stay to 4-7 days for a more comprehensive experience including local excursions. USD is widely accepted, and visitors should prioritize sun protection and hydration.
