Canoa is an up and coming beach destination in Ecuador. Just a few years ago Canoa was a quiet little fishing village getting hardly any attention from travellers. Over the past few years it has gained populairity, especially with backpackers looking for a fun low-budget place to enjoy the beach and work on a tan.

Canoa has some really nice things to offer. Besides a great 20km long white sandy beach there is some great budget accommodation right at the beach. The palm trees will cover you from the sun while you enjoy a nice cocktail or a cold beer.

Most visitors stay in Canoa longer than expected. The relaxing atmosphere and friendly locals will get to you.

Whenever you feel like getting some nice meals or having a beer in a bar you can find some nice places to sit back and enjoy.

    You can get to Canoa from Bahia de Caraquez or San Vicente. Both are located at the coast. Buses leave for Canoa frequently and take about 30 minutes to get to Canoa. From Quito take a direct bus to Bahia or San Vicente. It's a long and humid ride to get there. If you are coming from Esmeraldas take a bus to Pedernales and change busses there.
