V!VA User‘s Description Spread across an expansive stretch of fine gray sand, Atacames is a beachside playground for Ecuadorians. Foreigners are more the exception than the norm. Part hustler, part street-side vendor and welcoming hotel owner, Atacames is a town with many faces, which seem to change as the sun moves across the sky.

A place like no place you'll ever find in the US. A beach with no modern influences but still a lot of places to drink and lots of people having fun.
A friend and I took the bus up to Atacames for a long weekend and had an amazing time with lots of sun (hot hot hot!!) great beach, good music, good seafood and cheap but nice hotels!! As soon as you arrive the little beach-side town speaks to you.... the eco-taxis are lined up to help take you to a hotel ($1 ride) Word of warning.... the hotels fill up FAST!! Try to get there on a Wednesday or a Thursday to get a good room. The beach is beautiful and the ocean is like a bath...the undertow is really strong though! We did not feel unsafe and were warmly welcomed by the locals! A wonderful and relaxing vacation that you would NEVER get on a resort or in a touristy-town... I would strongly recommend anyone who is fun-loving, open-minded and outgoing to visit Atacames!
Atacames was OK. I liked the seemingly endless stretch of sandy beach, but it wasn´t the most beautiful beach that I´ve been to by a long chalk. Also, pretty much the minute that I lay down on my towel to take in some rays, I started being bothered by vendors and beggars and I didn´t really get much peace. The nightlife was fairly good though, I visited one of the beachfront bars which was pretty lively. There weren´t many surfers there, which is a shame because whilst I don´t know a lot about surfing, the waves looked as if they´d lend themselves to it pretty well.
