The working fishing village and gateway beach that most visitors cross to reach Playa Conchal.
Playa Brasilito is a two kilometer stretch of gray sand fronting a modest fishing village built around a soccer field, with working boats pulled up on the shore. It lacks the polish of Flamingo or Conchal next door, but the northern end has a scenic outcrop of rocks and small islands, and the beach is a reliable sunset spot. Brasilito also serves as the walking and parking access point for Playa Conchal just to the south.
From Route 180 between Flamingo and Conchal, turn into Brasilito at the bridge; park near the soccer field in the center of town.

Pacific Horses runs guided horseback rides that start and end on Brasilito Beach, following the coastline south to Playa Conchal. Riders choose a one, one and a half, or two hour ride, with the option to canter or gallop for confident riders. Guides point out howler monkeys, iguanas, and coastal birdlife along the trail.
