Playa Flamingo
One of the first northern beaches to experience overdevelopment—a fact immortalized in the concrete towers that straggle up the hill above the bay—Flamingo still has some hidden charms. Perhaps most famous for its large sportfishing fleet, Flamingo's marina with over 200 docking spots for yachts gives the beach energy.
