As the North Shore is to Hawaii and Sayulita is to Mexico, Montañita is the surf mecca of Ecuador. A small town of a thousand residents, it is situated on the Pacific Ocean in Southern Ecuador. Waves pound heavily into the bay, with overhead breaks hitting the point on the North end of the beach.
Days are glorious enjoying the warm, soft sand. Dusk hits and exquisite sunsets take shape as surfers wrap up their sessions. Night falls, and then soon beach fires and live music at Caña Grill get rolling.
The village has perfected a chilled out vibe, the entire place an ethos of transient dominance. Dreaded muskrat hippies line the dirt roads peddling jewelry, and creepily creative street performers abound juggling, break dancing, unicycling, and fire dancing. It’s the perfect spot to slow down for a while, burn one down to forget your worries (or create some new ones), and fantasize about running away to join the circus…
