Playa Murciélago, Beach in Manta, Ecuador
The beach stretches for 1700 meters along the Pacific coast with fine greenish-gray sand and consistent waves suitable for water activities.
The beach received its name due to its surface area resembling the silhouette of a bat with spread wings when viewed from above.
The beachfront Malecon Escenico features local craft markets, regional restaurants, and hosts national and international carnival celebrations throughout the year.
Color-coded flags inform visitors about sea conditions, while equipment rental services provide gear for kitesurfing, bodyboarding, and diving activities.
The subtropical dry climate maintains temperatures between 10°C in winter and 26°C in summer, creating conditions for year-round water sports.
