Puerto Lucía

⛵ Puerto Lucía

The peninsula's yacht club and marina — where sailors leave their boats to explore Ecuador and the Galápagos.

Puerto Lucía is the area between La Libertad and Salinas home to the Puerto Lucía Yacht Club, a marina and boatyard on Salinas Bay. You can spot it from the bay by its apartment towers, the middle one with a white pyramid roof.

For sailors

Cruising sailors use Puerto Lucía to haul out, repair or store their boats while they travel overland or fly to the Galápagos. The club has pools, a gym and security, and a shopping mall is about 10 minutes' walk away. Expect surge in the marina at times.

A border question

Puerto Lucía and Balcones de Carolina are among the areas whose canton boundary between Salinas and La Libertad has never been formally settled; both municipalities include them in their plans.
