Manta – Tarqui

Sand bottomBeginnerFaces N · 0°Draft metadata

Wide beach on Manta's east side by the fishing port and Tarqui, where artisanal boats land their catch in front of the seafood market. The port breakwater shelters it and waves are usually gentle, but it is a working fishing beach and some local guides don't recommend it for swimming.
