About Ecuador
Ecuador is a small country located on the west coast of South America. It has four regions, each one with its own ecosystem. That is why Ecuador is also known as “The country of the four worlds.” One of them is the Coast Region.
The Ecuadorian Coast covers more than 70,000 km² of extension and has countless beach towns that still preserve a local coastal lifestyle. They are also surf destinations for nationals and foreigners.
These beaches are located in 6 provinces. Many of them have been a local tourist destination for many years, but others are still not known.
Our goal with this website is to visit each beach town and promote Ecuadorian beach life.
