Manta is the third largest city in Ecuador. The port city boasts some wonderful beaches. The Malecon Escencio is a strip of restaurants and shops right on the water, and attracts many locals and visitors. The local seafood is said to be quite good--and cheap, too. The legendary Panama Hats, locals say, are not actually from Panama, but from Montecristi, a village just 10 minutes away from Manta.
We walked down the beach to the shipbuilders and fish market.

3rd world country and just a dirty industrial port. Local fish market was interesting but be careful with what you come in contact with.

This is an industrial port so not much to see at the port itself. We took the city bus to a tourist spot at Montecristi.
