Bahía de Caráquez is a little coastal city with a lovely sandy beach on the Pacific ocean. It is located in the province of Manabí and only takes some five hours to reach Bahía by bus from Quito and four hours from Guayaquil.

A small port city has evolved into the most pleasant city on Ecuador’s coast. This breezy town is clean, relaxed and safe place to live in. Feels like a place you’d visit just to walk the streets. The waterfront is lined with good restaurants serving fresh seafood and delicious typical dishes. For me there was nothing better than patacones( fired bananas):)

We spent all weekend bathing in the ocean, walking around the peninsula and watching the amazing waves hitting the shore. Also we tried out kayaking. I had sooooo much fun there and cant wait till I go back.
