Montañita Ecuador

The sea in Montañita is good (big waves though) 4 to 5 meters. But, always beware of stingrays close to the water's edge.

If you get stung, there is a small hospital in Manglaralto that will treat you immediately.

Surf in Montañita

North to the main village is Baja Montañita in which most of the main surfing competitions take place. The beach is a glorious expanse of golden sand.

There are a number of simple wooden beachside bars near the village and another cluster at La Punta, a sandy headland about 0.5km along at the North end of the beach. These bars are perfect for watching flocks of albatrosses skimming the waves and for sundowners with a view of the Pacific.

In Montañita you will find quite places where you can read, enjoy the sun set and relax. But please be aware that late at night you may hear the noisy sound of the discos. During Carnival time (Around February and March) there is a surfing competition organized to enjoy the big waves of that period of the year.

Come enjoy all the wonders of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands!
