Ecuador Beaches: Pedernales to Manta
|
We especially like the Ecuador beaches of Manabi from Pedernales south to Manta for several reasons. First, the beaches are stunning. Second, both the water and the weather are warm. Third, it’s neither well developed nor heavily populated.  Investors have the great
opportunity to purchase Ecuador beach real estate at incredible values,
influence development in the surrounding community, and profit from
considerable capital gains as demand increases for Ecuador Beaches.
Several major infrastructure projects are in development that will greatly increase the demand for Ecuador beaches in this area. More about this project at the end of this article. Different Beaches for Different People
Don’t let anyone sell you on one specific Ecuador beach. Ecuador offers different beaches for different people. There are several kinds of beach investors: full time residents, full time residents with a pioneer spirit and goals, part time residents, and absentee land speculators. Different beaches will apply to each of these investors.  Pedernales to Jama
The 46km stretch of beach from Pedernales to Jama is almost completely undeveloped. Pedernales is a typical dusty Ecuadorian beach town with a growing tourism industry. The poorly maintained highway from Santo Domingo discourages traffic from Quito but this obstacle will not last forever. Twelve km west of Jama, in the beach community of Matal, Gary and Larry Swenson from ecuadorbeachfront.com are developing an idyllic community with private access to the sandy beach. |
| This property is an example of sustainable beachfront
development that will rise in value as Ecuador Beaches continue to
develop. Who will like this area? Full time residents with a pioneer spirit can find great property to develop. Also, land speculators can find great property deals. The area is not well developed so creature comforts are limited. |

CanoaNineteen km north of San Vicente is Canoa, a growing beach community popular with adventure tourists and surfers. The laid-back surf atmosphere is supported by several local business operated by foreigners. These foreigners are not just operating businesses, they are working with the local government to make sure Canoa’s growth is sustainable. Who will like this area? The area around Canoa is great for full time residents who want to participate in a growing beach community. The infrastructure is not great but is improving. You can find plenty of creature comforts and good real estate deals in and around Canoa. Bahia de CaraquezBahia de Caraquez is a charming beach city located on a peninsula. Condo buildings are more common than private homes and the views are stunning. The streets are nice and the city is almost never busy. Bahia de Caraquez is the home of Puerto Amistad, a yacht club run by a North American. Growth in Bahia has been stalled for several years due to its location far from Quito and Guayaquil. Planned infrastructure development will greatly increase growth in this area. Bahia de Caraquez is a peninsula and future development will be limited to improving existing property, making the city even better and more alive.  Bahia suffered a strong earth quake in 1998 and some of the city was destroyed. But in 1999, Bahia declared itself an “Eco-City” initiating plans to recycle most of the city’s waste and to turn itself into a green city. Out of the rubble of the earth quake, a new and vibrant city has emerged. What started as a small port city is transforming itself into one of the most pleasant cities on Ecuador’s coast.  We recommend hotel La Piedra located along the waterfront. For food we highly recommend the restaurant at Puerto Amistad. This is a yacht club so if you get hungry in Bahia, just look for the sailboats.  Who will like this area? This area is great for anyone who likes a small city rather than a town. The beach is not as nice as Canoa but the views are excellent and restaurants and shopping are more convenient. Buyers can find condo deals in Bahia that would be perfect and safe for part time residents. San ClementeTwenty-four km south of Bahia is San Clemente and San Jacinto, two communities with a 12km stretch of sandy beach. This area is much more populated than the beaches north of Bahia and offers limited creature comforts. The town is not well developed but the beach and views are outstanding. If you are planning to buy real estate in San Clemente make sure to visit first.  Who will like this area? Full time residents with a pioneer spirit will do well in this area. The 12km stretch of beach is full of old wooden homes with beach views. There is plenty of room for beach development but scarcity found in places like Canoa and Bahia will never be an issue. This is a good place for large development projects such as hotels and condos because the land is still relatively cheap. MantaManta is an important shipping and industrial center with a deep-water port, a large airport being transformed into an international air cargo center, hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers with everything you could need. Manta’s cultural and tourism offerings are limited and the beach is average.  Who will like this area? Full or part time residents who desire the convenience of a medium size city but still want to experience the low cost lifestyle offered by Ecuador beaches. Why is the area around Bahia de Caraquez such a great investment?
We cannot lie; the roads leading to this part of Ecuador are in terrible condition. Moreover, the Chone River separates Bahia de Caraquez from Canoa and the trip requires a ferry ride. This image will give you a "feel" for the ferry experience:  The difficulty to reach this area has kept development and prices low. Things are changing….  |
