If you are all about the beaches and sea, then there is no doubt that Salinas should be at the very top of your priorities. Once a small village, Salinas has grown into being the largest resort and tourist destination on the coast of Ecuador. You’ll get plenty of sunny days and the waters are great for surfing but also for all the other water sports like diving. One more advantage of Salinas is that you will be just a couple of hours away from Guayaquil that has an international airport.
