| Marina Flamingo History & News The Marina Flamingo was begun in the Earley 1980's by Ray Osborne. He built the original breakwaters and docks for about 20 smaller fishing boats and a fuel dock. The story is told that after a 4th of July celebration in 1988, Ray went to his Flamingo North Ridge point house , discovered that he did't have his key, and fell from a 45 foot cliff as he attempted to climb around a wall to gain access to the house. Ray was in a coma for over 5 years and progress and maintenance on the marina stopped. In 1989, James McKee arrived in Flamingo aboard his 52 foot sailing vessel "Shannon". After 7 months, and learning the history of the marina, James put together a business plan to develop the marina. The new marina had space for 80 Yachts and had electricity, potable water, a marine store, a boat yard for repairs, haulout facilities and a modern fuel dock. In 2003, the Municipality of Santa Cruz closed the marina. Included in this history of the Marina Flamingo is a slide show of the construction of the marina and newspaper articles about the closed marina with links to online newspapers in Costa Rica that have followed the closeing of the Marina Flamingo.
