    Beautiful and relaxing
    More of an upscale beach compared to its counterparts, las Palmas and atacames. Offers street food or very nice restaurants. Choice is yours here. Sunsets are incredible. Less busy than atacames.

    Esmeraldas tierra verde
    Esmeraldas is a coastal city in Ecuador. Tourist attractions include beaches, virgin forests, the culture of the indigenous Cayapas , marimba and afro-ecuadorian music and the La Tolita archaeological zone.
    I went there 4 years ago wtih my family to celebrate carnival, it was my first time there and I really had a good time. I felt very excited because my mom was born there and I met some of her family. Besides, I visited some beaches such as: Las Palmas and Sua. Las Palmas is an attractive beach near to the center of the city. I liked it a lot because it has many restaurants and an open bar where you can drink, dance and meet people and have a good time. People in Esmeraldas are very friendly, kind and hard-working.

    Playa de las Palmas
    Playa de las Palmas is a great beach in Ecuador. In the morning you can watch people playing soccer on the beach. Worth checking out when in Ecuador.
