Los Frailes Beach in Ecuador is a protected area with three beaches: Playa Prieta, Playa Tortuguita and the main beach of Los Frailes. It is a must for beach lovers because it has white sand and clean turquoise waters, plus a variety of flora and fauna that make it reminiscent of the Galapagos Islands. On Playa Prieta you can enjoy black tones in its sand due to iron deposits, and take photos of Islote Sucre from the top of the cliff nearby. If you like adventure, you can take the Los Frailes Trail in the middle of nature and see spectacular islets, vegetation and wildlife. Don't forget to try out snorkeling in the crystal clear waters to discover the marine life and admire the corals!
