San Clemente may be popular with expats but neighbouring San Jacinto in Manabi has an infectious local energy.
The great thing is you don't have to choose, San Jacinto, San Alejo and San Clemente are small villages along the same stretch of beautiful beach in Ecuador.
Kimberly, the owner of The Cottages by the Sea ( / thecottagesbythesea ) invited us to come stay with her if we were ever traveling through the region and I'm so glad we did!
The cottages are an oasis! And perfectly situated in San Alejo so you can walk a few blocks to the right and arrive in San Clemente or a few blocks to the left in San Jacinto.
I intended to spend time in all three but I really enjoyed San Jacinto the most so I always wanted to walk left. While San Jacinto isn't as pretty, it has fantastic local food and you can watch the fishermen come in.
If you want to take a mangrove tour at La Boca they are run by official guides. Pascual was great. He only speaks Spanish but even if you don't understand it's a beautiful view and both he and the boat driver point out birds and iguanas +593 98 898 8583

// MORE ABOUT ME!//
Hi I'm Ayngelina and my full time job is my site BaconisMagic.ca it's all about the best food around the world and how to make it at home.
In 2010 I left a job in advertising, 5 year relationship and sold all my possessions to travel the world. In the last ten years I've had some crazy experiences and even owned a restaurant in Toronto at one time. And prior to 2020 I had been based in Cuba.
When the world shut down I returned to Canada and decided to teach myself video. I wanted to share more than just words and photos but to show people the adventures I have learning about food around the world.
I'm not married. I have no kids. But I do have a lot of local friends who help me discover the best local tips.
