Flamingo is the southwesternmost port of call on mainland Florida coastline. Where there once was a rough and ready frontier town here, now there is a Park Service concessionaire marina. Trouble is that in 2005 the Hurricanes washed tons and tons of mud and sand into the harbor and entrance channel. Eventually, the Park Service dredged, but ONLY to about 3 feet (or less) at low tide in places. I would be VERY hesitant to take any vessel into Flamingo at any tide drawing more than 3 1/2 feet.

Ahoy All:
Travelling in our RV this winter; a couple of nights ago we spent a night in Flamingo Florida to check it out. Very remote, no wi-fi, tv or phone signal (Sprint). We walked over to the marina , located off of Florida Bay. Marked channel coming in which is doable for trawlers if you’re very careful and use the tides. Tides on this side of the Bay, as opposed to the Keys side.
Flamingo is part of the Everglades National Park, but the marina is run by a concessionaire. Floating docks. Only one boat was in the marina. Rates are $2/ft. including elec./water.
