Montanita beach
Montanita is a small resort in the village of the same name in western Ecuador that is well-known throughout the world. Today, the resort serves as the primary surfing destination for the entire country. The resort is well-known for its breathtaking scenery, high waves, and stunning sunsets.
The 5 km long beach line is surrounded by exotic plants and large boulders, inviting you to take a walk in the fresh air in the evening, morning, and throughout the day.
The beaches are long and wide, with fine golden sand. Water is clear, warm, and clean. The waves are too high and too long for true professionals; beginners should practice on the opposite beach. On the beach, there is a surfing school for self-motivated tourists. Those who want to can learn to stand on their boards and ride their first waves.
The beach is always crowded, with most visitors being surfers. Only in bad, cool weather is the beach deserted. On weekends, there are more vacationers; in addition to tourists, locals visit the beach. Montanita is a place for young people; families with children looking for a quiet vacation should avoid this beach.
