Súa is a small, pretty fishing village about 8 km south of Atacames, tucked into a sheltered bay with a rock headland on one side. The beach here is smaller and calmer than the main Atacames strip — less commercial, quieter, and with a view across to a small offshore island where frigatebirds and blue-footed boobies roost.
The village has a couple of simple restaurants serving fresh fish (whatever came in that morning), and you can hire a fisherman's boat for a short tour of the bay and the bird rocks. Pelicans cruise the shoreline in squadrons throughout the day. This is a good half-day trip from Atacames for anyone wanting to escape the noise.
