The Puerto Villamil beach or Playa Isabela in Isabela island is a gorgeous 4kms beach that runs alongside the entire seaside of this cute little town. This white-sanded beauty with turquoise water is the perfect place to relax on Isabela island. Here you will see many pelicans fishing and marine iguanas and on the east side, there’s a great place to surf.

Spend some time exploring Puerto Villamil’s downtown (Isabela island’s capital). The best thing about Puerto Villamil is that it has a huge white beach running along the entire town and compared to Puerto Ayora town in Santa Cruz, this is the place you wanna go to relax. There aren’t half as many tourists as in Santa Cruz and you can have a pretty chilled time here.

The restaurants are all very similar and local, there are just a couple of international food restaurants and the rest serves you fish and ceviche and local specialties. There are some bars on the beachfront if you want to go for a drink at night while watching the waves breaking on the sand and everything is very easily reached due to the town’s small size.

In the backyard of Puerto Villamil, there are some lakes where you can find flamingos and there is a small stadium in town where sometimes they make live events.
