Los Frailes

Los Frailes - one of the most beautiful unspoilt beaches in Ecuador, is a beautiful sheltered bay with a pure white sand beach and surrounded by a dry tropical forest. Ideally for anyone in need of relaxation. The sea is calm and good for swimming.

Due to its location inside Machalilla National Park a ticket is needed for entry ($15). From the bus station is a little bit far to the beach so the best option to get there is using a motorcycle taxi, like those seen in India.

When my boyfriend and me arrived to la playa, there was nobody, so all beach and ocean were just for our relaxing and enjoyment. When you think of days spent bathing in the sea and resting on golden sands- Los Frailes is certainly the best.
