Puerto Lopez beach
Puerto Lopez is a popular beach in the eponymous fishing village on Ecuador's Pacific coast.
The beach's edge and bottom are covered in fine white sand. The water is crystal clear and blue. The beach is shallow and the entrance to the ocean is smooth. Long waves rise on some parts of the beach – this is a popular spot for surfers – while others are calm and quiet. The beach is long and wide, with plenty of room for all vacationers. Tourists reserve rooms in hotels near the beach and in the village. The cheapest room has a nightly rate of $20. You can get to the beach by bus, taxi, or transfer.
Near the village, there are several interesting places to visit:
- The ruined port from which visitors can watch humpback whale games in the spring, summer, and autumn
- A park with a dolphin skeleton and a structure dedicated to it
- A fish market.
Those who want to spend their time actively engage in horseback riding, surfing, going on excursions offered by various tour operators, traveling to nearby islands, and visiting the national park.
