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.

Don't waste your money on a tour here. Simply take the ship's shuttle to town which lets you off at a market, specifically designed for you. Everything about MANTA IS SOLD RIGHT THERE.

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