Playa San Lorenzo

Reviewed By Steve_lofty - London, United Kingdom

Nice little beach with a few passable bars and restaurants. The waves look really strong when we were there. I wouldn't risk a swim. The climb to the cliff top on the rustic stairs was a real challenge for me but we made it. The views on top were spectacular

Playa el Murcielago

Reviewed By 869alannap - Vernon, Canada

Clean wonderful beach with tons of delicious seaside restaurants to enjoy! They have regular beach cleaners which is wonderful as the locals are not very good at cleaning up after themselves. The ocean is deliciously warm here as well !

Plage de Tarqui

Reviewed By J2938ILrichardm

The beach is okay, but the arrival of the fishing boats and their catch starting at 6:00 am is something not to miss. Fish are sold on the spot to restaurants who truck them to Quito, Salinas and other cities as well as directly to customers and then to the vendors in the fish market which is right there on the beach.
