Saturday on Brasilito and Conchal beaches

Today we drove a few kilometers south and parked the car at the small village of Brasilito.


As you can see, Brasilito beach was crowded. We walked to the end where there was a small island just offshore.


The bare branched trees made it look like the top of a giant head.


The whole beach was idyllic. We stopped at a beachside cafe and Christine drank tamarind juice whilst I ate a plate of fish, shrimp and squid ceviché.



We found the Ticos on Conchal beach. They had packed their children, parents, pets, tables,chairs, food and drink into anything they owned with four wheels  and were having a very good time. The sand here is comminuted shell and we found indurated beach deposits and conglomerates beneath what looked like a volcanic ash layer. Older laminated red rock was showing chevron folding.
