Playas is a town located in southwestern Guayas, Ecuador, by the sea.
There are important resorts and beaches in the city; hence the name Playas. Its distance from Guayaquil is approximately 96 km. Playas' nearest communities are Engabao, El Arenal, San Antonio, Data de Villamil and El Morro.
Cerro del Muerto is a tourist attraction on the "vía el Morro", where you can find "La Virgen de La Roca", (The Virgin on the Rocks) a sanctuary build several years ago in tribute to the Virgin Mary. The rocks of this mountain can easily be climbed and can let you see part of the Morro and the Pacific Ocean, which is a few kilometers away.
Via a Data is the road that leads you to Data, and eventually to Posorja. Through its first 12 km the beach is a little dangerous for swimmers, so take care. From this beach, you can appreciate the cargo ships that are guided by the "Practicos" avoiding the ships to get into the low waters while they enter through the Guayaquil Gulf.
Club Casablanca, at the northwest part of the city, is an exclusive club with swimming pool, tennis courts, sauna, spa, racquet/squash, bar, restaurant, and a private beach. Beside these facilities, you can rent small apartments by the sea cliff, with an incredible views of the Pacific Ocean.
