Despite not having nearly the length of coastline as Chile, Peru, or Colombia (which has coastline on two different bodies of water), Ecuador does have a portion of the South American western coast. And because it does, it has a few lighthouses. This one is located on a beach, near a small town (Engabao), and fairly close to Guayaquil.

The Lighthouse Directory is short and sweet with regard to this one.
"Date unknown (station established 1920s). Active; focal plane 14 m (46 ft); white light, 1.5 s on, 3.5 s off. 7 m (23 ft) round cylindrical concrete tower with gallery, painted white with red bands at the base and on the gallery."
I originally couldn't find many pictures of this one because I searched for "Engabao Lighthouse". "Faro Engabao" was more successful. But I did find two Google Streetview pics, which are below, followed by pictures that I eventually found.
