About Playa Conchas Chinas, Jalisco, Mexico
Playa Conchas Chinas is, hands down, one of the most amazing and beautiful beaches in Puerto Vallarta and possibly the entire state of Jalisco, Mexico. This unparalleled beauty is due to the dramatic landscapes and environments that surround this one-of-a-kind stretch of sand. A combination of picture-perfect white sand, jungle-covered coastal mountains, and crystal clear rock pools make Playa Cochas Chinas a must-visit for those in the Puerto Vallarta area.
The name Concha Chinas is derived from a type of mollusk that can be found in the waters of the Bay of Banderas. Translation from the local indigenous language means Curvy Shells. This translation has been debated amongst locals and some people believe that the shells are named so because they resemble a Chinese hat.
Playa Conchas Chinas is Blue Flag Beach, which means that the city of Puerto Vallarta takes extra care to maintain the cleanliness of the beach in a more sustainable way. You won’t find any garbage at this beach, but what you will find are incredible natural tide pools that are teeming with colorful sea creatures and many varieties of fish. These pools are calm and the waves don’t bother the water at all making them an excellent place to sit and cool off.
