ECUAWIKI › PLACES TO VISIT › PLAYA LAS CONCHAS

Playa Las Conchas (Shell Beach) is a beach on the Santa Elena Peninsula notable for its accumulation of sea shells (conchas) along the shoreline — a characteristic of some beaches where current and wave patterns deposit mollusc shells.

== The Beach ==

The abundance of shells on the beach gives Playa Las Conchas its distinctive character. Visitors enjoy:
* Shell collecting (taking live animals is prohibited; empty shells only)
* Walking the shell-strewn tide line
* Photography of the colorful shell patterns
* Swimming in the Pacific

== Location ==

The exact location within the Peninsula varies. Several beaches in the region have local names referencing their shell character. The beach is accessible from the coastal road.

== Getting There ==

Best accessed by taxi or private vehicle from the nearest main town. Inquire locally for directions to Playa Las Conchas.
