For science and history enthusiasts, it\u2019s known for the Galapagos Islands &#8211; the famed birthplace of Charles Darwin\u2019s Theory of Evolution. However, some travellers don\u2019t know that Ecuador is also a fantastic destination for a dream beach holiday. Ecuador\u2019s landscape is varied, consisting of both the Amazon jungle and Andean Highlands, but, as a coastal country, you\u2019ll find plenty of beaches &#8211; and beach towns &#8211; to explore and relax on. Here are just a few of our favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/d\/ecuador\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ecuador <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best time to visit Ecuador<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecuador straddles the equator, meaning that some of the country is in the northern hemisphere and some in the southern. However, most of the country lies in the southern hemisphere, which means June to September is considered to be winter, and summer runs between October to May. Peak seasons (and thus, the most expensive times to visit) align with major holidays &#8211; if you\u2019re planning on visiting over the December holiday season, expect to pay more and to deal with larger crowds. However, nearly every day of the year in Ecuador will be beach-worthy nearly every day of the year, so don\u2019t worry too much about when you\u2019re visiting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-places-to-visit-in-ecuador\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">7 of the Best Places to Visit in Ecuador<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best beach towns in Ecuador<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Montanita<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for the epitome of chill, you\u2019ll find it in Montanita. Whether you\u2019re looking to spend your time travelling relaxing on the beach or fitting into a new culture, this beachside town is perfect. Many travellers stay here for months at a time, taking advantage of the community\u2019s sense of free-spirited nature to truly become part of it. You\u2019ll find travellers from far and wide here, most of the backpackers, all of them ready to introduce themselves and get to know you in return.

The fourth-largest city in Ecuador, Manta is a major transportation hub for the rest of the country &#8211; but that doesn\u2019t mean it should be overlooked as a destination in itself.

The main island in the Galapagos is Isla Isabela, which is where much of the hotels and infrastructure can be found. Here, not only will you enjoy up close and personal encounters with wildlife like seals, sea turtles, penguins, and thousands of other animals (some of whom are native only to these islands), you\u2019ll be able to walk amongst active volcanoes, learn about Charles Darwin\u2019s research and legacy, and, yes; lounge on the beach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Galapagos.jpg\" alt=\"A seal lounging on the sand in the Galapagos Islands\" class=\"wp-image-23798 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Galapagos.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Galapagos-434x289.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>You may have to share the beach with some friendly locals in the Galapagos Islands! | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/UFQtIKMw7eA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Caroline Ebinger\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Caroline Ebinger\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tonsupa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonsupa is known for its immaculate beaches, but, to the delight of some visitors, the more relaxed pace of life here makes for fewer crowds.

The only coastal national park in Ecuador, Machalilla protects one of the country\u2019s most precious resources: one of the most threatened tropical forests in the world. Machalilla is where travellers can get a glimpse of what the South American coast once looked like; gorgeous beaches, tropical rainforests, an abundance of wildlife, and huge expanses of sea. While travellers won\u2019t be able to stay overnight in the park (and note that outside food is not permitted in order to preserve the natural order of the park, though there are snack shacks open for visitors), Machalilla should be at the very top of your list no matter what you\u2019re looking for during your time in Ecuador.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking to spend your time in Ecuador lounging on beautiful beaches, surfing the perfect wave, stepping through history, or any combination of the three, you\u2019re practically guaranteed to find the perfect beach for you somewhere!
