Playa Conchas Chinas
Conchas Chinas is a broken south-side shoreline of rock formations, small coves and seawater pools. It rewards careful walking and looking for marine life more than a straightforward broad-sand beach day.

Keep exploring Puerto Vallarta with our travel partners.
Go to Conchas Chinas to explore the broken rock formations and shallow seawater pools, where small fish, crabs and mollusks may be visible. The shore is grainy and mixed with shells, so protective footwear makes sense even during a short walk. Its succession of coves also opens views toward the Sierra Madre meeting the bay. The interest is in looking carefully at the shoreline, while leaving the pool life undisturbed.
What to look for
Tidal pools with small fish, crabs and mollusks
Shells and rocks underfoot; footwear is useful
