About Montañita

The south coast of Ecuador is a fantastic destination with its long sandy beaches, charming fishing towns, and great surf spots. Montañita, in particular, is a surfer’s dream come true, famous for its epic waves and lively nightlife. It’s a top spot in Latin America for surfing tournaments and is part of the Santa Elena province. Montañita attracts a fun-loving crowd of all ages, with plenty of beachside bars, street food stalls, and fresh juice stands to explore. The coastal climate is generally warm and dry, making it a great spot to visit year-round.

The warmest weather is from December to April, with sunny days perfect for beach activities. From May to November, expect cooler temperatures and occasional rain showers, which can actually bring out the lush greenery and keep the crowds smaller.
