Ecuador’s coast offers surfing, snorkeling and some of the best cuisine in Ecuador. Spots like the Isla de la Plata even give the so-called “poor man” a taste of Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands without actually needing to get on a plane.
My personal favorite spot…Canoa. This little beach town has great surf, beautiful rocky cliffs and of course fresh seafood. I almost forgot the caipiriñas (“special” beach lemonade)!
The province of Manabi on Ecuador’s coast is said to have the BEST food in the country. And I think they might be right!

Canoa Ecuador
Other hot spots on the coast include Salinas and Guayaquil. Don’t forget Mompiche and Montanita.
Plus mangrove forests, whale watching, paragliding, banana plantations. And much, much more!
