Playa San Lorenzo is an idyllic beach located in Manabí, Ecuador. It offers visitors the opportunity to experience stunning natural beauty and partake in adventures such as surfing, gastronomy, wildlife observation, and more. The beach is surrounded by a 13,545 hectare protected tropical-humid forest (Pacoche), which provides the perfect environment for exploration. Visitors can observe nesting sea turtles on the beach and howler monkeys in the mountains, or take a walk Sendero del Faro that brings you to a lighthouse overlooking the ocean. Aside from the picturesque view of the turquoise waters filled with boobies, frigates, and pelicans, travelers can find plenty of shops for dining and activities such as swimming, parasailing, jet skiing, paragliding, and more. Playa San Lorenzo is a true paradise worth visiting.
