Beach living in Ecuador?

9 years ago

Hi! My husband and I are planning to retire soon-ish (next couple of years). We want to spend 6 months-a year in different locations, primarily in southern Europe and Latin America.

I would like our first stop to be Ecuador, for a few reasons, not least of which that I think a year of living there will burnish my Spanish skills to the point where I'll be much more able to move to other Spanish-speaking countries. The "problem": I've been setting my sights on Cuenca, but my husband wants our first place to be on/near the beach.

So, my question for you is, where would be a good location in Ecuador with these qualities:

- a relatively good expat community (so we can have resources since this will be our first experience being retirees abroad)

- on/near the beach

- ability to be car-less

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
