Playa Conchal

The shoreline extends along turquoise waters with millions of crushed seashells forming a natural white and pink surface spanning several kilometers.

The beach location served as a primary landing point for Spanish maritime expeditions exploring the Guanacaste coastline during the 16th century colonial period.

Local artisans collect shells from designated areas to create traditional Costa Rican jewelry and decorative items, maintaining sustainable practices.

Visitors can access the beach through a walking path from Playa Brasilito or by staying at the beachfront resort, with parking available in nearby lots.

The seabed near the northern rocks contains dense populations of marine species, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling during low tide periods.
