Thatīs More Like It
After being predictably underwhelmed by Atacmes, I was especially pleased to have found Canoa. The beach is wide and long, clean and free of vendors. It's bookended by cliffs and has just enough of what you want in a laid-back beach town: a few places ...

Visit to my favorite beach in the world
... it was a very small town with desolate beaches and beautiful waves. It was kind of a secret, this place, as I imagine many of Ecuador's beaches are. I would wake up in the morning, and just sit out on the beach and watch the waves break while the young ...
beaches and sunset of Canoa

Day 35
