Conchas Chinas Beach, video from December 6th, 2019 Conchas Chinas Beach Vallarta is, without a doubt, one of the most fascinating and striking beaches in downtown Puerto Vallarta, the Banderas Bay area and Mexican beaches in general. The melding of various ecosystems in one location, together with its graceful coast and underwater profile has given the place a beauty that must be seen to be understood. The name apparently comes from mollusk shells you find there, not that they come from China (like almost everything nowadays …), but rather that they look like Chinese hats, ie. cone-shaped. You can still find them nowadays on the beach.
