The Hidden Secrets of Salinas, Ecuador in the Low Season

When you think of Salinas, on the southwestern Pacific Coast of Ecuador, you picture big crowds and lots of water activity under a hot summer sun. But this is not the only side of Salinas. It is one of the most popular beach destinations for Ecuadorians and an increasing number of North American “snowbirds”, but us year-round residents get to experience something wonderful—Low Season!

The magic starts to happen slowly in March and April, as the visitors from other countries leave the beach and return home for their spring. Then the first week of May, the school year starts for Ecuadorian children, and things really change for the residents.

Are there any raw sewage issues? Is raw sewage released into the sea? Not being critical, just asking (as I got very sick on a beach in Shenzhen, China due to that issue).

Much like Jimmy Buffet, "Jim Santos doesn't live here anymore."

[kellysmyth]

Your video is about low season .Why in the world would you not mention what constitutes low season?

[RickFidelisReed]

The water is from ANTARCTICA, it’s not warm.
