to relax in the shade of the palms. The water here is clear and warm

Tourists contribute to its tropical beauty, its
vegetation and a tourist attraction basically for its extension of
beach and the hospitality of its people in which the afro-Ecuadorian
community finds itself, Legend tells that a ship full of slaves,
heading in the direction of Colombia was shipwrecked in the
Esmeraldas-Monpiche coast.
The people aboard the ship found their freedom and
began a new life there. The MARIMBA is the favorite music that they
sing
and dance to. It features chonta, a musical instrument made of hard
bamboo
Mompiche ranks among the most idyllic, unspoiled
beaches on the coast, little more than a sprinkling of huts and
fishing boats.
Mompiche is an excellent shortboarding and
longboarding wave and has a playful inside section with a sand bottom
good for novices. Mompiche is Ecuador's most beautiful beach and this
can also be a very romantic getaway for surfing couples.
There are different places to stay its a realtively
new spot and just now its being surf by foreigner more than
