Adventure Tips

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Bahía Concha sits on a delicate reef—use reef-safe SPF to protect marine life and pack enough for the day.

Carry drinking water

Local refreshments are basic; bring 1–2 liters per person especially in midday heat.

Wear water shoes

Short rocky stretches and coral heads make water shoes useful for snorkeling exits and walking along the shore.

Arrive early for calmer water

Mornings usually offer the clearest visibility for snorkeling and fewer crowds on the sand.
