Enjoy the famous Costa Rican beach Playa Conchal
While on Costa Rica tours, many travelers will want to visit some great beaches. A viable candidate for a top beach on their list may be Playa Conchal, found two kilometers south of Brasilito on the country's Pacific coast.
Accommodation is a snap for travelers looking to stay at a resort close to Playa Conchal, as various lodging options from major hotel franchises are readily available. Costs will be considerable, though most locations will feature multiple restaurants and various other amenities to hopefully make the prices worth a traveler's while.
Playa Conchal earns its name due to the massive amount of seashells, called "conchas" in Spanish," which regularly wash up on the shore. The bright, deep blue color of the water is nothing short of stunning, and those with any interest in snorkeling in the shallows will be able to indulge this hobby to their heart's content.
According to a study published in the scientific journal "Biodiversity and Conservation," Costa Rica is considered to be one of the world's preeminent ecotourism destination. This can be attributed to major national parks such as the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve and Corcovado National Park.
