Playa Santa Marianita is a charming beach village in Ecuador that offers an idyllic vacation spot for those looking to find peace and relaxation. Located off the coast of the Manabi province, this small fishing village has become a hotspot for kitesurfers, digital nomads, holiday makers, and even expats who just want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. With a pristine beach and consistent winds, Santa Marianita is the perfect destination for kitesurfing enthusiasts. For nature lovers, the nearby Machalilla National Park houses the unique blue-footed boobie which can be seen thronging its shores. With great food, lovely locals, and plenty of activities to choose from, Santa Marianita provides visitors with a truly unforgettable experience.
