Montañita Ecuador real estate: coastal homes and lots
A small surf town on the Ruta del Spondylus with warm weather all year and quieter beaches a few minutes up the coast.
Why Montañita
Montañita is a small town in the parish of Manglaralto, Santa Elena province, about 180 km northwest of Guayaquil. It is known for surfing and a lively main street.
The climate is warm all year, with an average around 28 °C (82 °F) and a rainy season from December to May. The towns just north, like Olón and Ayampe, are quieter.
Most people who settle here choose a house a few minutes from the center: close enough for the restaurants, far enough for quiet nights.
