Playa Choncal

So today after la clase de espanol, we decided to head out to check out another beach while the weather was decent. We ended up at Playa Brasilito, but the tide was so high it was reaching the top of the beach. The locals said that this was the highest tide they have ever seen. I don't know what today was at, but two days ago it was a swell of 9 feet and yesterday it was 10 1/2. We walked over to Playa Choncal, which is basically all shells. Part of the beach still has whole shells or mostly whole anyway. The rest of the beach is shells as well; however they are smaller pieces. The shells created very clear water conditions. It was really beautiful. It was also very low key because the beach is not easily accessible from the main road. There were some hotel beach chairs that were not being used, so we helped ourselves to them. We headed back later in the afternoon and checked out the sunset on Playa Tamarindo.
