Local knowledge for Canoa
Where to stay
The area of interest to budget travelers is eight blocks long and two or three blocks wide west of the main road, Roman Centenio. Most hostels and cheap eats cluster along Xavier Santos, which runs westward from Parque Central to the Malecón and the large 3D CANOA sign. Staying near the Malecón puts you steps from the beach and surf schools, while the blocks closer to the highway are quieter and closer to bus offices.
Getting around
- Surfing is the main draw, with 16 km of beach break that has no rocks, no reef, and no riptide, making it ideal for beginners. The peak surf season runs from January through April, but waves are available year-round.
- Direct buses run to Quito and Guayaquil, with companies having offices along Xavier Santos in the three blocks before Parque Central. For trips south to Bahia de Caraquez or San Vicente, buses can often be hailed directly along the main road.
- The town suffered serious damage in the April 2016 earthquake and is still recovering. While many businesses have reopened, the hospitality infrastructure is still rebuilding, so expect a mix of new construction and older, simpler accommodations.
When to go
Hostels are busiest and most expensive from January through April, which is the peak surf season and the dry season for the coast. Rates are lowest during the rainy months of May through December, when fewer surfers visit and the weather is more overcast.
