Atacames Tourist Information
Atacames is located approximately 25 Kilometers south of Esmeraldas and one of the main beach resorts on the Pacific coastline. Atacames always offers the potential of an all day & night party. A dancing atmosphere (24/7) during April-Oct, on weekends & holidays, but for those more tranquil travelers or for a balance we recommend the nearby beach of Súa for a fuller quota of sleep. Whale watching advice and tours are also when in Season, available from most Hotels.
The main basic services including Bus stops, Pacifictel and post office are located south of Río Atacames.
It is strongly recommended that Swimmers take great care with the undertow and study well warning beacons due to loss of life through lack of care and attention. Assaults late at night while walking alone on the beach can also occur and for travelers walking between Súa and the main beaches at night, it is the general rule of thumb the world over stay away from dark areas at night with poor illumination such as parks, deserted Beaches, roads, etc.
