ABOUT PLAYA CONCHAL

Playa Conchal is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa Rican Gold Coast.

Playa Conchal is found in the north of Guanacaste province, where the waves of the Pacific meet land.

One of the reasons Costa Rica has become one of the world’s premiere vacation destinations and a favorite place to purchase a second home is the spectacular climate.

With an average temperature of 71-81 Fº (21-27 Cº), this tropical and subtropical weather contributes to Costa Rica’s outstanding beauty, pure air and water, unspoiled beaches, rain forest, mountains and rivers.
