Flamingo shifted from a small fishing community to a tourist destination in the late 20th century as improved roads and marinas drew sport fishing and beach tourism to Guanacaste.

Local operators encourage reef-safe sunscreens and proper waste disposal; avoid leaving plastics on the sand and follow staff guidance to minimize disturbance to shorebirds and tidal pools.
