Playa Conchas Chinas
- Category: Beaches
- Location: Southern Banderas Bay and Cabo Corrientes
Fodor's Review:
Frequented mainly by visitors staying in the area, Playa Conchas Chinas is a series of rocky coves with crystalline water. Millions of tiny white shells, broken and polished by the waves, form the sand; rocks that resemble petrified cowpies jut into the sea, separating one patch of beach from the next. These individual coves are perfect for reclusive sunbathing and, when the surf is mild, for snorkeling around the rocks; bring your own equipment. It's accessible from Calle Santa Barbara, the continuation of the cobblestone coast road originating at the south end of Los Muertos Beach, and also from Carretera 200 near El Set restaurant. Swimming is best at the cove just north of La Playita de Lindo Mar, below the Hotel Conchas Chinas (where the beach ends), as there are fewer rocks in the water. You can walk -- be it on the sand, over the rocks, or on paths or steps built for this purpose -- from Playa Los Muertos all the way to Conchas Chinas. The beach does not have services.
