Great place to camp and discover the peaceful surftown Engabao. Owner Daniel is so nice and welcoming. You can use the kitchen, have surflessons or rent a board, cold shower and toilets. Nice relaxing place.

Cozy and non-touristy spot. Daniel and his wife Nadja are lovely hosts. Our kids had a lot of fun while playing with their kids. Good news: the height restricting pole at the entrance gate is finally gone, Daniel took it off so we could enter with our RV. Only 110V electricity. Daniel took our whole family to the beach for a beginner surf lesson, he’s a superb surf instructor, especially for kids! He knows a lot of stuff around the surfer’s scene which is interesting if you’re not familiar with this sport. He‘s got all equipment available at the surf shelter.
Prices for staying as well as for surf lessons are more than reasonable. We were sad to leave. Definitely worth visiting, with or without kids.

One of the best places in Ecuador, we stayed there for 2 weeks and have a great time with Daniel and his family. Eat, sleep, surf... Our truck is 8 meters long and 3,3 high and is fit. Kitchen with a extra BBQ bathroom, chill areas inside and outside
and fast wifi. Also you can order a good breakfast(real coffee). In Engabao is a beautiful fishingport, go there to watch the fisherman's and buy some.

great spot. the gate is wide enough for most vans and pickup but there’s a bamboo pole across at about 3 meters. maybe he’d pull it off if you asked ;)

decent wifi, power, cold showers, nice outdoor kitchen. hammocks. surf lessons and board rental.

the road from the north (driving south) seemed to stop and turn private but daniel said it is passable. anyway it’s a LONG detour around on the coast road.

loved our time here! recommended.

This place does not exist anymore. We asked around and they pointed out the deserted building .

Extraordinary value, at $5 pp. We fit inside the gate, but big rigs won't (its a narrow space, with a post that restricts the height to about 3m?). Great hangout area. Good facilities. WiFi was... Meh. Not fast, but good wifi seems rare in these parts. Only one car space inside, but it would be fine outside - Village is small and felt safe. The owners here are keen surfers, and are happy to show you the best spots.

Road to get here is partially paved after leaving the highway, but expect some dirt.
