While the big city of Guayaquil is a port town, it has no beaches of its own. Guayaquileños usually head directly west to beaches in Guayas, or northwest to those in the neighboring Santa Elena province. The drive to the furthest beach on this list is only a couple of hours, but watch out on weekends and holidays when the single-lane highway just isn’t large enough to handle the traffic.
