Montañita Beach, Surf beach in Santa Elena Province, Ecuador.
The coastal area features a wide sandy beach with consistent wave patterns, bordered by small mountains and tropical vegetation near the Pacific Ocean.
The transformation from a small fishing settlement to a surf destination began in the 1960s when international travelers established the first permanent structures.
The beach town maintains strong connections to surf culture, with regular competitions drawing participants from South America and international surfing communities.
Water temperatures range from 13 to 20 degrees Celsius, with the most favorable surfing conditions occurring between December and May during the north swell.
The Point section of the beach produces tube-shaped waves reaching heights of 9 meters, creating exceptional surfing conditions throughout the year.
