Travelers' Feedback
Montañita, is a small colorful rustic village
situated approximately 4 km north of Manglaralto,
known throughout Ecuador as the best beach for surfing,
very popular with international and local surfers.
It has a population of around 1,000 inhabitants. Water
temperatures range from 56-68 degrees. The place holds
surfing competitions the whole year round especially
in the high season (December through April), when
lots of people from Guayaquil and foreigners arrive
to the village.
The sea in Montañita is OK (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. North to the main village is Baja
Montañita in which most of the main surfing
competitions take place.
Tourist information is available opposite
the park in the Oficina de Reservaciones e Información
Turística, run by PMRC, they also make reservations
for lodging in private homes (See Manglaralto).
For if you're interested on learning how to surf, there
is a small surfing school, away from the ocean on the
highway.
