Paita District Beach

The Paita District is in the northwest corner of Peru, not far from its border with Ecuador. Its most popular beach is Colan, which is known for its clean, white sand and flat, wave-free surf.

Paita District Beach 

Noted for its beachside bungalows built on foundations of chunky boulders, its jagged, rocky cliffs and serene harbor filled with anchored boats, the scenery is nothing short of stunning.
 
Lodging won’t be a problem, no matter your budget, and a wonderful and inexpensive seafood meal is always just a short walk away, so ask a local or follow your nose.
