Playa Conchal Fishing Charters
Playa Conchal is located in the bay of Brasilito, next to Playa Brasilito; it is a small town about 8 miles north of Tamarindo, on the northwest Pacific of Costa Rica. The name of Playa Conchal means: “beach of shells,” since this beach is covered with white shells instead of sand. The reason why it is unique and special in Costa Rica and why many people come and see it.

The Reserva Conchal is the largest property in town, including hotels such as Westin Playa Conchal, W Costa Rica Reserva Conchal, Reserva Conchal condominiums and golf course complex, located right on the beach.
