Audio Guide of Scenic Boardwalk

Manta Scenic Boardwalk is open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, since it is an outdoor public space. Admission is completely free, making it an ideal place for a stroll at any time.

To fully enjoy the Scenic Boardwalk, including a relaxed walk, taking photos, and perhaps stopping at one of its points of interest, it is recommended to set aside between 1 and 2 hours. If you decide to stop for food or drinks at nearby venues, your visit could last longer.

Manta Scenic Boardwalk has been a key project in the city’s urban and tourism revitalization, especially after the 2016 earthquake. Its modern design aims to integrate the seascape with recreational and commercial spaces, turning it into a new symbol of development and resilience for Manta. It is a meeting point for locals and visitors, encouraging social and economic activity.

The best time to visit the Scenic Boardwalk is at sunset, when the breeze is cooler and the colors of the sky over the Pacific are spectacular. During the summer months (from June to September in Ecuador), the weather is generally warm and sunny, although Manta is a pleasant destination year-round. Avoid midday if you do not like strong sun.

Yes, Manta Scenic Boardwalk was designed with accessibility in mind. It has ramps and flat surfaces that make movement easier for people in wheelchairs or with reduced mobility, allowing everyone to enjoy its facilities and views without major difficulty.

Very close to the Scenic Boardwalk, you can find the Port of Manta, ideal for observing fishing activity, or Cancebí Museum if you are interested in local culture. In addition, there are several restaurant and café options along the boardwalk to enjoy Manabí cuisine, especially fresh seafood. The beaches of El Murciélago and Tarqui are also within a short distance and are excellent for a day in the sun.

For the best experience, I recommend using sunscreen and a hat, especially if you go during the day. Bring enough water to stay hydrated. If you enjoy photography, sunset offers spectacular views. Respect the surroundings, use the trash bins, and carry only what you need for comfort and safety. And do not forget to try the local ceviche!

Yes, along Manta Scenic Boardwalk you will find several spots with access to public restrooms, as well as a wide range of restaurants, cafés, and fast-food places where you can enjoy drinks and local cuisine, especially fresh seafood dishes.
