A fishing village beach on the Ruta del Sol, about an hour south of Manta, that picks up almost any swell; NW swells give the best banks. Mornings are glassy before the wind, and an east breeze is offshore. Peaks get hollow at low tide, so beginners should come at mid tide or higher and stay on the inside foam. You can park on the beach.
