Playa Conchal is a Guanacaste bay beach whose sand is made of millions of crushed pink, white, and tan shells. Calm, unusually clear Pacific water sits between rocky points next to Playa Brasilito, making swimming and shore snorkeling practical. Reach it by a 10-15 minute walk along the sand from Brasilito or through the resorts that back the shore.

Public beach access parking for Playa Conchal sits in Brasilito, not on the shell shoreline. Independent visitors leave the vehicle at the authorized Brasilito access area and continue on foot, typically 500 meters or more. Vehicle traffic onto the beach from the Brasilito side is restricted.
