Manta – The Growing Coastal City

Manta is a mid-sized city, not as big as Guayaquil or Quito, but also not as small as Puerto Lopez or Ayampe.

Manta is home to Ecuador’s second largest sea port andis a large commercial hub for the country. The economy is strongly based around the port andfishing, with tuna fishing being the most popular. There is a large market where you can pick up today’s freshest catch. The port also welcomes larger cruise ships throughout the year boosting tourism for the city.

Many people visit the Manta area for its gorgeous beaches. “El Murciélago, Santa Marianita, San Lorenzo, and Barbasquillo are some of the most popular. San Lorenzo is a surfer favorite as it is known for having some powerful waves. Restaurants and small tiendas line the boardwalks and cabanas in the sand can be rented for the day so that you can have some protection from the simmering sun.

If you’re looking for activities off the beach, Manta also has that. Go shopping at the newly constructed Mall Del Pacifico, catch a film at one of the many international film festivals, or visit the nearby town of Monticristi, and learn about the famous “Panama Hat,” that originated from this area.
