Small regional airstrip serving Ecuador's coastal Pedernales area.

Location
Pedernales, Ecuador
Pedernales Airport (ICAO: SEPD) is a small general aviation and regional airstrip located in Pedernales, a coastal town in Manabí Province, Ecuador. The facility primarily serves light aircraft and occasional charter operations, connecting this relatively remote coastal community to other parts of Ecuador. The airport gained broader attention following the devastating April 2016 earthquake that struck the Manabí and Esmeraldas regions, as Pedernales was near the epicenter and the airstrip was used to support humanitarian and relief operations. Regular commercial service through the airport remains limited, with most travelers to the region using road transport or connecting through larger nearby airports.
