When the weekday tranquility calls for a beach escape here in Manabí, my go-to spot is undoubtedly San Clemente. You'll often find me loading up the quad bike onto the back of the truck and heading straight for its peaceful shores.
My usual ritual involves parking right outside Meier's Bar. It's a fantastic little establishment run by Meier, a friendly German fellow who made Ecuador his home about ten years ago and set up shop right here. It's the perfect place to start your beach day with a couple of ice-cold beers and some delicious food – trust me, the fresh fish on his menu is a real treat!
Fuelled up and ready for some sun and sea, the beautiful stretch of San Clemente beach is just steps away. Whether you fancy a leisurely stroll along the sand, a refreshing dip in the Pacific waves, or just soaking up the quiet atmosphere, it's the ideal place to unwind and recharge during the week.
