The bay is in the Esmeraldas Province.[1] Parts of the bay are fringed by mangroves of the Manabí mangroves ecoregion.[2] The low-keyed Muisne resort is in the northern part of the bay, on a 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) sand bar among the mangroves of the Muisne River estuary. It may be reached by ferry across the Muisne River from the small town of El Relleno.[3]

Mompiche village at the south of the bay can be reached by a 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) potholed road from the Via del Pacifico (Ecuador Highway 15). Its accessibility has led to small hotels and hostels being built, primarily for low-income surfers.[4] The broad Mompiche Beach is almost 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) long and has fine white/gold sand. It extends north from the small fishing village of Mompiche to the river estuary at Muisne. It is a popular place for surfing, and ecotourism is also popular. The Mache Chundul National Reserve, which contains mangroves and dry forests, is near to the beach.[5]

    gollark: I did the first thing and one of the written questions there (but not the one which wasn't doable by computer since I have no idea how that can actually be answered), and spent ages working out how to implement the second but ran out of time.
    gollark: [REDACTED]
    gollark: I didn't really practice and have almost zero experience/knowledge of competitive programming so something.
    gollark: I did it and got an amazing* 26% or so.
    gollark: Everyone knows that threadlocal globals are the best way to store errors, so this is fine.
