Playa Varadero, Beach in Ecuador

Playa Varadero is a beach on the Ecuadorian coast, offering a wide strip of sand used for swimming and water sports. The shore is open and unobstructed, making it one of the more accessible stretches along this part of the coast.

Until the first decade of the 21st century the site was a comuna of 24 cabins with poor tourist services, officially part of the recinto Data de Posorja, in the Posorja parish of Guayaquil canton. From 2010 the Municipality of Guayaquil carried out a major urban regeneration of the beach, which now runs 2.5 km along the Vía Playas-Posorja.

Playa Varadero belongs to the recinto Data de Posorja, in the Posorja parish of Guayaquil canton, and is reached by the Playas-Posorja road. Until the first decade of the 21st century the site was a comuna of 24 cabins with poor tourist services; from 2010 the Municipality of Guayaquil carried out an urban regeneration. Visitors today find food courts and restrooms along the 2.5-kilometre beach.

Parking, public restrooms, and food vendors are available close to the sand. Weekends and holidays draw larger crowds, so arriving early in the morning makes it easier to find a good spot.

The beach is officially part of the recinto Data de Posorja, in the Posorja parish of Guayaquil canton, even though it sits along the Playas-Posorja road. Before the 2010 urban regeneration by the Municipality of Guayaquil, the site was a commune of just 24 cabins with poor tourist services.
