My Costa Rica
Visiting Playa Conchal
We tend to choose our beaches based on what activities they offer or what culinary treats they are known for. But what about a beach that is simply too beautiful to resist? Playa Conchal receives visitors drawn to its stunning beaches adorned with crushed shells and coral framing sparkling, turquoise waters.
Playa Conchal is one of the gems making up the Gold Coast in the Guanacaste province. It is located at just 2 km from Playa Brasilito and also very close to the iconic beaches of Flamingo and Tamarindo. Liberia’s international airport is only a little over an hour away which makes this seemingly remote wonder very easily accessible indeed.
The main reason to visit Conchal is simply to marvel at its rare beauty. The crushed shell shores aren’t only magnificent to look at, but they also act as a natural water purifier. Without sand to create murky water, you will encounter some of the clearest waters you can find in the whole of Guanacaste. This sounds like a great time to try some snorkeling!
Many places in Costa Rica offer massage services but at Conchal you can get one right at the beach itself. You will find the occasional massage table all ready and installed under the palm trees. If you feel tempted to take advantage of this service, it will only cost around $20 per hour.
If you are a keen golfer, the 
Conchal’s waters are generally calm which means it is a great place to try your hand at something new. There is nothing quite like the feeling of jet skiing for those who like the speed and long for the challenge. If you want to explore some of the nearby beaches only accessibly by water, you can hire a tour guide for a couple of hours as well as the whole day.
There are several sailing tours available in the Conchal area and they are very easily adapted to your own desires. Perhaps you prefer an early morning trip so you can have fun snorkeling or scuba diving. Or maybe you wish for a late afternoon one so you can sip some cocktails and enjoy the sunset. The adventurous mind and well as the traveler looking to be relaxed and carefree will thoroughly enjoy their time on the ocean.
Riding a horse in Guanacaste will always carry some deep, cultural significance. But it is even more enjoyable when combined with a stunning beach! If you rather have some off the road fun with friends and family, check out the ATV tours. Both the horse and ATV tours will take you by some of the most beautiful views of Playa Conchal.
