Once upon a time in Hawaii, a man called Duke Kahanamoku grabbed a 10-foot longboard and the sport of surfing hit the big time. Salt water, sun, sand and a blissfully simple existence combine in surfing to make it an addictive way of life.

    Coco Loco Beach huts

    Posted by flaus 14 March 2009

    Coco Loco is nearly five years old and is one of the best backpacker hangouts in Canoa. Owned by a friendly Alaskan woman and her Mexican partner (and his georgeous son mini-Mao), this is the friendliest hostel we encountered in Ecuador.

    With a happy hour every night, small snacks restaurant and palm-fringed hammock garden, the Coco is a communal, friendly place that seems to be the hub of activity in this otherwise quiet surfing beach 70 km south of the Equator.

    Beds from US$5, awesome breakfast, 24 hour hot water, great staff, hammocks, book club, trip organisation including an awesome totally organic eco-farm/school nearby, happy hour and overall atmosphere make this the place to be!
