Playa Conchal, CR

So, we plan to be beach bums for the week. We kicked it off early this morning with the nearby Playa Conchal. This one is pretty popular for it shell sprinkled beaches. Well, more like someone dumped trucks full of shells onto the beach and completely replaced the sand. We found a nice shady spot to lay around all morning, and play in the very strong ocean waves to keep cool.

Sidenote: I am 100% loving these Turkish towels. They worked as both pillow and blanket on the plane. They’re light and fit into our beach bag while still an excellent size for a beach towel as seen here. Then! I folded it hotdog style for a skirt to walk the couple kilometers back to the car. It knotted well and looked great with my floral swim shirt. Next time, I’ll snap a photo.

We also went a bit south to Tamarindo to find a supermarket. Ryan found a good taco spot there, too. Turns out it’s total tourist town. It was insanely busy and American-like. Also, the tacos were only fine. However, like most in this place, it was a pretty drive!
