Olón
A broad sandy beach stretching several kilometres, with a white church on the clifftop overlooking the sea. A more family-friendly coastal village north of Montañita.
Olón's beach is flat and wide, suited to walking, learning to surf and horse riding. Behind it, a cloud forest reserve set among tropical dry forest covers the hills. On the cliff at the northern end, the Star of the Sea (Stella Maris) Church is shaped like a white sailboat. It overlooks the entire coastline and is a popular photo spot. The village has cafés and boutique guesthouses. It is about 35 km from Puerto López and can be combined with a trip to Montañita.
