Isla de la Plata is a small island off the coast of Manabí, Ecuador, and is part of Parque Nacional Machalilla.

Guided tours of the island are given on a couple of different hiking trails.

It can be reached by boat from the city of Puerto López, which is 40 km away.

[5][6] Another species found here is the South American sea lion.

[7] The island has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of resident Esmeraldas woodstars, magnificent frigatebirds and blue-footed boobies, breeding waved albatrosses, and wandering tattlers on passage.
