What the drive to Conchal looks like
The first part is the main Route 21 towards Belén. After the junction, Route 155 crosses farmland and small towns to Huacas, then descends towards the coast at Brasilito, the village right next to Conchal.
All of it is paved. The engine estimate of 81 to 102 minutes includes the slower village sections and the final approach to the resort entrance, which can involve a security stop.
A beach made of shells
Conchal takes its name from the crushed shells that form the sand and give the water its clear, turquoise colour on calm days. Much of the land behind the beach belongs to a large gated resort development with a golf course and residences.
If you stay inside the resort, the car goes through the security entrance to reception. Guests in Brasilito are dropped at their hotel or rental; from there the beach is reached on foot along the sand.
