Beach

Message from

Los Frailes Beach in Ecuador is one of the most beautiful beaches in continental Ecuador. Described as a "virgin beach," it contains no urban infrastructure on the beach, but instead offers breathtaking views of nature with its whitish sand and vegetation. People often compare it to Tortuga Bay in Galapagos with its turquoise water and diverse marine life. There is plenty to do here too; visitors can take long hikes around the area and explore all the adjacent beaches from the highest viewpoints. With its free entrance, bathrooms and showers, parasols, snorkel rental services and souvenir shops, Los Frailes is a must-visit destination for those looking for a tranquil getaway.
