Puerto de Santa Rosa is the fishing port of Santa Rosa, an urban parish of Salinas and the second most important artisanal fishing town in Ecuador, with about 3,500 fishers. Together with the Puerto Pesquero Artesanal de Anconcito, it is one of the peninsula's two main fishing ports.
The Port
Puerto de Santa Rosa serves as a launch point for:
- Local artisanal fishing boats
- Sport fishing charter operations (some operate from here)
- Recreational boats
The port area has a more low-key character than the main Salinas waterfront, reflecting the working fishing community of the Santa Rosa sector.
The Santa Rosa Sector
Santa Rosa is a sector of Salinas municipality with a primarily local, residential character. It sits east of the main Salinas tourist area and has fewer tourist facilities.
Getting There
From Salinas center, a short taxi ride to the Santa Rosa / Puerto de Santa Rosa area. Ask the driver for "el puerto de Santa Rosa."
The fishing facility
The Facilidad Pesquera Artesanal Santa Rosa occupies a 3,578 m² site and has been active since the 1980s. It offers pre-processing and storage, gutting, weighing, sales and a food court, and also handles some general cargo.
Santa Rosa's fleet includes mother ships (nodrizas) that tow groups of small boats for dorado, albacore and skipjack, fibreglass boats for dorado and bottom fish, and sardine seiners. The number of boats fell from 1,967 in 2014 to 757 in 2021, partly because of thefts of engines at sea.
