Punta Mirador – Photo by Henri Leduc

Punta Mirador is a scenic rocky shoreline just outside of Puerto Lopez. This rugged beach is especially photogenic during sunset. Puerto Lopez is a small fishing village set in an arched bay on the Pacific coast of Ecuador. The west end of the beach is protected by a small rocky peninsula : punta rocosa. Puerto Lopez is also a seaside resort, surrounded by some of Ecuador's most beautiful beaches and the administrative center of Machalilla National Park. (Puerto Lopez, Ecuador)
