Low Season (May - November)
If you prefer to avoid the crowds, the low season is a good option. Although there may be occasional showers, the weather is still pleasant and the beaches are less crowded.
When I was about 8 years old, I went to the beach with my family and, being stubborn, I decided to go deeper even though my dad had told me not to. “It's okay,” I thought, feeling like a professional swimmer. Suddenly, I stopped touching the ground and the water pulled me deeper. I started kicking, waving my arms like crazy and swallowing water, just when I thought I was going to be left to live at the bottom of the sea, my dad jumped in, grabbed me by the arm and pulled me out like a fish out of water. He set me down on the shore and said, “See why I told you no?”. From that day on I understood that the sea is not a game and that, no matter how brave I think I am, you always have to respect it and listen to your parents before doing crazy things.
Ecuador's beaches are the perfect destination for a family vacation full of adventure, relaxation and special moments. From vibrant Salinas to tranquil Canoa, each beach offers something unique to enjoy with your family. Whether exploring the wonders of marine life, participating in water sports, or simply relaxing in the sun, Ecuador guarantees an experience that will be remembered by all.

Hi Kevin, your blog is very informative for me, as I am a person who loves to travel, I will definitely plan one now and take into account your blog. Congratulations, wonderful blog.
ResponderEliminarThis blog makes me remember when I went to the beach with my family. Being in the ocean is amazing, but it can also be dangerous if you are not careful. What are the most common risks on the trip?
ResponderEliminarHi Kevin, amazing blog, I love the places you mention, it's very interesting to know. I'll tell you that one day I went to Montañita, as you mentioned, and the truth is that it seemed to me one of the best beaches in Ecuador, very beautiful. See you next time, but... what destination do you prefer?
ResponderEliminarHi Kevin, your blog is super helpful! As a travel enthusiast, I really appreciate the insights, and I’ll definitely keep them in mind for my next trip. Great job!
ResponderEliminarI think this blog is very interesting, I remember one time I was so excited jumping the waves, I didn't see a huge one coming. It knocked me down, spun me around, and when I finally got up, I had sand everywhere, even in my ears. Do waves always appear all of a sudden like that or was I just unlucky?
ResponderEliminarHi Kevin, your blog is interesting, as I am a person who loves to travel with my family, I am going to plan one for vacation and take into account your blog. Congratulations, for your blog.
ResponderEliminarHi Kevin, this post is perfect for my next destination. I went through something similar, but my worst moment was when, as a child, I hated sunscreen and decided not to use it despite all my mom’s warnings. Hours passed, and my skin started turning red and itching. That night, I couldn’t sleep because of the burning sensation.
ResponderEliminarThis is an excellent and one of the best blogs I have seen Kevin, I remember one summer when I decided to go to the beach with some friends, we were having a good time until I, being the curious one, went too far into the water. Suddenly, a strong current swept me away and I started to drift away, my friends got scared and screamed for help, and luckily, a lifeguard saw us and came to the rescue. Is the current always that strong or was I just in the wrong place?
ResponderEliminarThis blog is really useful, especially for those of us who don’t have much experience with the beach. I remember when I was a kid, I went to the beach and, being stubborn, I swam too far. Suddenly, a big wave pulled me under, and I started panicking. Just when I thought I was done for, my dad jumped in and pulled me out. Do waves always get stronger the deeper you go
ResponderEliminarWhat a great blog! The description of Ecuador's beaches is fascinating, and you note how well you can enjoy a family vacation there. I love how you cover both the adventure activities, like surfing and whale watching, and the relaxing times on the beach. Definitely, places like Salinas and Canoa sound ideal to disconnect, enjoy nature and spend quality time with the family.Thanks for sharing such helpful and motivating details! Do you have any recommendations on where to stay at any of these beaches for a more authentic experience?
ResponderEliminarThis blog paints a vivid and inviting picture of Ecuador's beaches, showcasing their appeal for family vacations, I have traveled to different beaches of Ecuador but one of my favourites could be salinas because of the food and becase there are too many places to distract and have fun with our family and friends, Which beach do you recommend me to hang out on vacation?
ResponderEliminarHey Kevin! I really enjoyed your blog—such a great read! The places you mentioned are fascinating. I actually visited Montañita once, just like you mentioned, and I must say, it’s one of the most stunning beaches in Ecuador.
ResponderEliminarYour guide to Ecuador's beaches is fantastic! It balances adventure and relaxation perfectly, giving families a great idea of where to go and what to do. I especially liked your personal story, it adds a relatable and important message about respecting the sea. Maybe you could also include a section on local food or cultural experiences near the beaches? That could make the guide even richer!
ResponderEliminarThis blog is really helpful Kevin. I remember once, when I was a kid, I was playing on the shore digging holes in the sand. Suddenly, a giant wave came and knocked me over, leaving me half buried. My family laughed as I tried to crawl out like a trapped crab. Do waves always go farther than they appear?
ResponderEliminarHi Kevin! I really enjoyed your blog, no doubt silver is one of the places I love to go. I remember once when I went to the beach with my family I loved the beach more and more every day, I loved the color of the sand and hated the sunscreen, they are nice moments that are rewarding to repeat.
ResponderEliminarIt is very important to have information about the beaches because in some places they can have very important animals for the ecosystem or have a problem with your blog helps to have more information about the beaches and their ecosystem.
ResponderEliminarHi Kevin! I really enjoyed your blogI. I remember once, when I was little I was building a huge sand castle near the water, super proud of my work. But I didn't realize how close I was to the waves until a giant one came along and destroyed everything in seconds, including me, because it knocked me over too! Why do waves sometimes come close to the shore without warning?
ResponderEliminarThis blog is really helpful Kevin.I remember once, when I was a little girl, I was running along the shore feeling like the fastest person on the planet. Just as I was about to demonstrate my speed, I stepped on something sharp probably a shell or a hidden rock and fell into the sand and was laughed at.Why do some parts of the beach have so many things hidden in the sand?
