Surprise Engagement Proposal at Conchal Beach in Costa Rica
I’m thrilled to share a recent couple portrait session: a magical beach engagement proposal that took place at the breathtaking Conchal Beach, or Playa Conchal, in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. If you’ve ever dreamed of a romantic setting for a proposal, Conchal Beach is it—a true gem with its unique shell-studded sand and renowned status as one of the best beaches in the world.
Conchal Beach in Guanacaste, is just about 15 minutes from Tamarindo, or about an hour and fifteen minutes from Playa el Coco. It can be accessed by the little town of Brasilito. There you can park your car, and walk the beach or path into Playa Conchal. If you are staying at the W Marriott, or the Westin in Reserva Conchal, you just need to walk right out of your hotel and you are on the beach!
Jovany and Ashley decided to dress up for a morning stroll along the beach, catching the first light of day. The early hour meant they practically had the beach to themselves. The gentle waves and the soft, shell-encrusted sand created a picturesque backdrop for Jovany’s secret engagement proposal.
As they walked hand-in-hand along the shoreline, you could sense the excitement building. Jovany had chosen a serene spot near the water, where the gentle lapping of the waves provided a soothing soundtrack to his proposal. With the sun casting a golden glow over everything, he dropped to one knee, pulling out a stunning ring that sparkled almost as much as the beach itself.
The look of surprise and sheer joy on Ashley’s face was priceless. She hadn’t seen it coming, and the candid emotions that followed made for some truly beautiful photographs. Capturing that raw, heartfelt moment of this surprise beach engagement proposal at Conchal Beach was such a privilege.
For anyone considering a beach engagement proposal in Costa Rica, Conchal Beach offers an unparalleled setting. The unique shell sand, combined with its serene and less crowded environment, makes it a standout choice for those special moments. It’s a place where you can create memories as stunning as the view itself.
