What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Flamingo Beach is widely praised for its magical atmosphere and the unique experience of interacting with free-roaming flamingos. Visitors love the pristine beauty of Renaissance Island, the calm waters, and the stunning sunset views. However, the limited access and high cost of day passes are recurring drawbacks for many.
"Popular public beach with beautifull sunset views. In proximity there is a choice of restaurants and caffe shops. No toilets and no changing facilities available. A plenty of free parking spaces avaliable. The cleanliness of the beach improved, however there litter and cigaret buds can be seen everywhere."
Dana Zdenkova
"SubhanAllah, what a beautiful sandy sea! The kids had a great time playing with the sand along the shore. The only drawback is the lack of washrooms and shower facilities for changing after swimming, which is a bit inconvenient."

"Absolutely magical place - Flamingo beach๐ฆฉ๐ฆฉ
You can see you can feel itโs alive.
Here is so many little creatures and beautiful birds you can meet every day.
When you walk at the beach near the little waves, you can see a small fish playing and chasing each other in shallow water and little crabs raising their little claws like they greeting you and happy to see you here. ๐ ๐ฆ
You can hear Cicadas singing in the bushes early in the morning when there is no people and everything so quiet.
And you can hear the sea is breathing and whispering with its waves every time you near it.
And in the evening when the sun is not so hot anymore and a nice breeze comes out all the families and friends gathering here. Playing chatting swimmingโฆ
It seems crowded, but itโs not crowded at allโฆ With this magical atmosphere this beach creating for us all - everyone become just like one big family โฆhereโฆ.in magical Ras Al Khaimah at the Flamingo beach. ๐ซ"
