Flamingo Beach: Golf Cart Rental for Beach Days & Local Trips

Summary

Golf cart rentals in Flamingo Beach for easy rides to sand and shops

You’ll cruise through Flamingo Beach with your own golf cart rental—perfect for sandy beach mornings or quick trips into town. Expect easy pickup, room for friends and gear, and friendly local faces along every route. It’s less about speed here—more about catching those little moments between palm trees and surf.

What’s the experience like?

Keys land in my hand before I’ve even dropped my bag. Someone from Special Places flashes a grin and says, “You’ll want the big tires if you’re heading past the paved roads.” I’m not sure yet where I’ll end up—Playa Flamingo is brighter than it looked online, and the air smells like salt and sunscreen. The golf cart’s seat is warm from the sun, but not too hot. There’s room for four of us plus a heap of towels that keep sliding off every time we hit a bump. We laugh about it, but honestly, it’s kind of perfect.

We took the deluxe model out first—lifted higher than I expected, so you see over hedges and catch these quick flashes of ocean between houses. The handling surprised me on those rougher bits near Playa Potrero; it didn’t rattle or stall once. Our neighbor waved us down to ask where we rented (I think she just wanted an excuse to chat), and when I tried to explain in Spanish she smiled and switched to English before I could really embarrass myself. That’s Guanacaste for you—everyone seems ready to help or joke around.

The regular golf carts are fine too, but honestly, if your place is up any hills or you’re thinking about checking out Playas del Coco or Playa Hermosa, go for the bigger wheels. It made runs to the store feel like a mini adventure instead of a chore. We’d leave early sometimes just to avoid the midday heat—the light gets soft around 8am, and you can smell fresh bread from the little bakery by the main road (I still think about that). Sometimes we’d just drive slow with music playing low, waving at people we’d never met before.
